Rheumatoid arthritis
RA icon

Therapeutic indication

ENBREL is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Active, adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients who have had inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). ENBREL can be used in combination with methotrexate.1
  • Severe, active rheumatoid arthritis in adults to slow progression of disease-associated structural damage in patients at high risk of erosive disease.1
Dosing icon

Dosing

  • The recommended dose of ENBREL® is 50 mg per week, given as a subcutaneous injection, EITHER once weekly as a single 50 mg injection OR twice weekly as two separate 25 mg injections given 3-4 days apart.1
  • Elderly RA patients (age ≥ 65 years) show similar safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic profiles compared to younger adult patients treated with ENBREL. Dose adjustment is not needed for the elderly. However, as with other medicinal products, greater sensitivity in some older patients cannot be ruled out.1
