Hi all, I'm new here. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 3 year ago.

I have been on a variety of unsuccessful treatments, ended up quite poorly with cryptogenic organising pneumonia!! (there's a mouth full).

Have been on Enbrel since last September and it is working fabulously, I have just received a letter today to say I am going to be switched over to a cheaper drug and am obviously anxious.

I was talking to our hospital pharmacist last week about these changes (presumably to Benapali). She was very positive about the results they are getting. She described it as comparing Nurofen to generic ibuprofen - same effect so I don't think you need to be anxious although I fully understand your worries. Hope this might help.

thank you for that Thelma, it is Benapali. I will just have to go with the flow and hopefully it will be ok x
