What is Enbrel?
Enbrel works by reducing TNF, a protein overproduced in autoimmune disorders. It's prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis.

How to Use Enbrel:
Enbrel is administered via injection under the skin. Learn the proper technique from a healthcare provider, and follow all instructions carefully. Dosage may vary based on weight, especially in children. Notify your surgeon if you're undergoing surgery while using Enbrel.

Storage Guidelines:
Keep Enbrel refrigerated (36°F to 46°F). If needed, it can be stored at room temperature (68°F to 77°F) for up to 14 days. Ensure proper disposal of used needles and syringes in a designated "sharps" container.

Missed Dose and Overdose:
Contact your doctor for guidance if you miss a dose or suspect an overdose. Immediate medical attention is crucial for overdose situations.
