Has anyone been prescribed 25mg weekly Enbrel rather than standard 50mg?

I'm on 50mg but have read that 25mg is available (i think!)

cheers

Hi

To my knowledge the option is 25mg twice a week or 50mg once a week. I think you ALWAYS have to take 50mg in a week???

I was on 25mg twice a week for nearly 9 years!!! Then last month they changed mw on to 50mg once a week. I find 50mg once a week much better, i found it difficult to ensure i was well enough twice a week to inject (there was usually some kind of sniffle, or bug about or just feeling unwell), but once a week is much more manageable. Apart from that i haven't noticed much difference.

thanks Ella and Chalky, as it's working really well for me I wondered if it would ever be an option, I should just be thankful and stick with the 50mg!

How peculiar! I can't imagine 25mg. And then a double leg sting every week! However, we need to be grateful! (I'm being genuine!)
