How does Enbrel work?
Enbrel contains the active substance called etanercept, which is a protein specifically developed to stop the activity of a certain chemical messenger. This messenger is found in the body and is called a tumor necrosis factor, and can be found in high amounts when patients have the diseases that this medication is used to treat. When a patient uses this solution, it then reduces the symptoms of the diseases, including inflammation. The Etanercept is produced via recombinant DNA technology, and is made by cells that received DNA enabling them to produce the substance.
Before taking the medicine
Patients should no longer take a booster dose if they have displayed previous allergic reactions caused by the first shot. To ensure Enbrel is safe for the patient, they should tell the doctor if they have allergies to latex rubber, have a weak immune system, or are being treated with steroids, cancer medicines, or other medication that has been known to weaken the immune system.
Treatment Details
The doctor should first check if the patient has an active infection before they make use of Enbrel. This medication is meant to be injected under the skin, which is usually done by a healthcare provider, or can be taught to the patient so they can do it at home. Sometimes, Enbrel may need to be mixed with a diluent, depending on the doctor’s discretion.
Safety Information
It should be noted that making use of Enbrel can increase the risk of developing some types of cancer, including a rare type of lymphoma. This has been observed in young adults and teenagers when using this solution or similar medicine to treat ulcerative colitis or Chron’s disease.
