Hi are any of you injecting Erelzi the biosimilar of Enbrel? I have been taking it for some months now and find it fine. does anyone have a different opinion?

My other question is that I am self isolating and I am due a blood test this month(I have them every 3 months) should I go? I really don't fancy a trip to the walk in centre of doctors surgery.

Hope you are all keeping well.

Hi, ebrel was great for me and I'm glad its helping you too !

Call the surgery in advance, our doctors us closed but those with things like blood tests you can go and there was only me in the surgery . I had my test and when I got back I changed my clothes, put them straight in the wash and had a shower!

It appears I needed the blood test done as they were all wrong lol ! So I got a phone call from them next day to tell me what to do.

Im Going for a follow up next week and yes it will be nerve racking as I'm shielding but it's probably essential . I'll try nit to touch anything and obviously stay a long way from people .

I too am on Erelzi ( entanercept) started in January brilliant results almost straight away. Had a chest infection so off meds for 4 weeks. Worked immediately when I restarted but now these last 3 weeks. I don’t know it’s a major flare or I’ve developed a reaction. Waiting for nurse to ring.

Now bloods... I believe each hospital are doing it differently.

My hospital have said if bloods have been consistently good bloods will be deferred to a later date.

If you need a test a date and time will be prebooked. Would check with your clinic

Not what you're looking for?
