Experiences with

Erelzi

I have just tested positive for Covid and I take Methotrxate and Erelzi for RA. Do I have to inform anyone. Thanks

A while back he switched to Erelzi (at the request of NHS to reduce costs) but did not get on at all well with it, and the consultant was happy to switch him back to Enbrel.

Well managed recently with Erelzi…prior to this I was on humira and had to switch to Imtaldi, biosimilar due to my hospital suggestions as it was cheaper. mot wasn’t as effective and it took months to get back on an even keel and be well managed again!

I am taking 5mg steroids daily, weekly injections of methotrexate, weekly injections of erelzi biologics and Hydroxychloroquine. This to me seems a very potent cocktail .

Hi Do I have to stop my Erelzi and Methotrexate before having a Colonoscopy Thanks

Morning all, hope you are all well x I take a weekly injection of erelzi (etanercept) and sulfadiazine tablets, are we safe to have either covid vaccines? Thankyou in advance xx

I failed 3 dmards this year but started Erelzi / Etanercept last tuesday. I felt like i had the flu the next day with a really bad headache.

My RA as been well managed in the past especially since being put on Erelzi(Etanasept).

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 had my first biological injection today Erelzi biosimilar (etanercept) . Very good nurse very thorough. Quite a large pen with a lot of liquid. It went ok but I did get dizzy and my hands trembled after 20 mins it lasted about 15 mins then I got very tired.

I inject Erelzi nee Enbrel for my RA which was diagnosed when I was 22 I am now almost 73. I am fine apart for the odd flare up for most of the year but I suffer from colds and chest infections throughout the winter months. I suppose this is down to the fact that the immune system is suppressed.

Nothing to worry about really, as my son currently has a slight surplus, as he agreed to switch to Erelzi but although he felt the medicine was effective he suffered a lot from the delivery mechanism, so asked to switch back to Enbrel.

I was taking Erelzi. I started having Light headed episodes, really bad sometimes. I couldn't move and they sometimes I would be sick. These episode were very draining and would take several days to get over.

Hi, I Have been on Enbrel for nearly six years and it have kept my RA under control , I was notified by my rummy that I was being changed from Enbrel to Erelzi(cheaper version) when my next delivery was scheduled...I took my first Erelzi injection last thur and I have to say I really did not like the

Hi I have been lucky enough to be prescribed Erelzi (a biosimilar for etanercept) alongside methotrexate. I’ve taken it for 4 weeks now.

I started self injecting 4 weeks ago with Erelzi (50mg Etanercept once a week) what a difference. The swelling in my wrists and ankles has subsided a bit and the fatigue isn't as bad. I have also cut back on my painkillers.

Hi all. 4months after allergic reaction and 3 months after DAS test I started on Erelzi (Etanercept) today. Fingers crossed this medication will help get on top of this horrible disease.

Hi everyone I’m just asking if anyone on enbrel has been told you need to change onto a new brand of injection called erelzi (I think) I’ve been told it works exactly the same as enbrel and that it will help cut costs on the nhs. What do you think?

I am worried that, whilst Erelzi may in theory be the same thing as Enbrel, anecdotal evidence suggests that people often have a different experience when being switched to cheaper alternative medicines. Has anyone successfully transferred to Erelzi?
