Enbrel
 |
I have rheumatoid arthritis and taking Arthrotec, MTX, Plaquenil, and Prednisone. My doctor wants to start me on Enbrel. Can and is it normal to just add Enbrel to the other medications or will I stop taking some of the other ones? |

Most rhuematologists including myself add Enbrel (or other anti-TNF agent) and then try to taper the other medications if possible depending on the response to Enbrel. |
