I have been on Enbril for 15yrs. Now they want me to change to Benepali. I have severe allergies to a lot of medication and I am wanting to know if anyone can tell me about how they have been on Benepali.

It seems that Benepali is a biosimilar for etanercept. Otherwise known as Embrel.

Already now this. I was told Benepali is just a cheaper version but it has totally different side effects and does not sound good to use. I just wondered if other people could tell me how it worked for them.
