Enbrel - Overview

Enbrel is a medication used in the treatment of various forms of arthritis and psoriasis. Enbrel requires a prescription from a medical provider, and people who need an Enbrel prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Enbrel medication, including Enbrel autoinjector, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Enbrel Used For?

Enbrel, similar to Humira, belongs to a class of medications known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. Enbrel is used in the management of certain types of psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. TNF is a type of compound known as a cytokine and potentiates some of the inflammatory processes in arthritis. Enbrel prescription medication is thought to have a mechanism of action related to blocking specific TNF receptors, making TNF inactive biologically. Enbrel should be used carefully as it can increase the risk of getting serious infections.

Enbrel - Cost and Copay Card

Enbrel prescription medication is very expensive, sometimes costing over $1,000 per Enbrel 50 mg dose. Different cost sharing programs, including something called an Enbrel Co-Pay Card, are available to help reduce the out-of-pocket costs of Enbrel medication. Additional costs associated with an Enbrel prescription are sometimes covered by one's insurance and Enbrel coupons are often available online through the manufacturer or other sources. Enbrel typically is available as an Enbrel 50 mg single-use syringe, Enbrel 25 mg single-use syringe, and Enbrel 25 mg multiple-use vial. Enbrel is administered to the body as a subcutaneous injection, often starting with Enbrel 50 mg once weekly for adult patients with the final dose ultimately depending on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Enbrel has a mean half life of 102 hours. The pharmacokinetic profile of Enbrel is roughly the same in men and women. Enbrel needs to be refrigerated at temperatures between 2°C and 8deg;C but the package insert should be referred to for exact storage instructions.

Can I Buy Enbrel Online?

While some people wish to buy Enbrel online, it is not that simple to do so as Enbrel is a prescription medication in the United States. As a result, one cannot get Enbrel OTC (over-the-counter) either. The first step to getting Enbrel is connecting with a medical provider, and Push Health can connect people interested in an Enbrel prescription with a medical provider who can prescribe Enbrel when appropriate to do so.

Enbrel - Side Effects

Enbrel, like other medications, can cause side effects. Side effects resulting from Enbrel use include infections and reactions such as pain, redness or itching at the site of the Enbrel injection. Enbrel should not be given with live vaccines or with certain therapies, including anakinra, abatacept or cyclophosphamide. Anyone who has a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Enbrel, similar medications or ingredients in its formulations should not use Enbrel. Alcohol and Enbrel should not be used together.
