If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or ankylosing spondylitis (AS), the recommended dose of ENBREL for adults is 50 mg per week.
Talk to your doctor about which of the following dosing regimens is right for you:
- One injection, taken once per week using the ENBREL 50 mg single-use SureClick Autoinjector or the ENBREL 50 mg single-use prefilled syringe.
If you have psoriasis, the recommended starting dose of ENBREL for adult patients is a 50 mg dose twice per week (3 or 4 days apart) for 3 months. After 3 months your doctor will tell you to reduce your dose to 50 mg once per week, using one 50 mg SureClick Autoinjector, or one 50 mg single-use prefilled syringe. The 50 mg dose of ENBREL can be given as one injection using one 50 mg ENBREL SureClick Autoinjector or one 50 mg ENBREL prefilled syringe.
The recommended dose of ENBREL for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis or psoriasis is based on the child’s body weight. Your child’s doctor will tell you the correct amount of ENBREL your child should take and whether the dose should be given as one or two injections. Your child's doctor will also tell you whether the injection or injections should be given on the same day once a week or on two different days (3 or 4 days apart) in the same week. ENBREL should be given by, or under the supervision of, a responsible adult. The 50 mg single-use prefilled syringe is only recommended for children weighing 63 kg (138 pounds) pounds or more.
