In all these conditions, pain, swelling, and tissue damage occur when the body\u2019s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the body such as skin or the soft tissues in the joints. The active ingredient in Enbrel is etanercept, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/monoclonal-antibodies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monoclonal antibody<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that suppresses the immune system. By shutting down the inflammatory process, Enbrel can relieve the symptoms and slow the progress of these autoimmune conditions. Side effects can be a problem, particularly in drugs like Enbrel that suppress the immune system. The immune system, after all, is the body\u2019s main line of defense against infection and cancers. To take Enbrel or any immunosuppressant safely, people should know what problems to look out for, what to avoid, and when to get help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RELATED: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/enbrel\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Enbrel?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"common-side-effects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common side effects of Enbrel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/online.epocrates.com\/drugs\/206805\/Enbrel\/Adverse-Reactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">common side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Enbrel are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infections, especially upper respiratory infections like colds and flu<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redness, swelling, pain, or itching at the injection site<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin rash<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Itching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hives<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"serious-side-effects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serious side effects of Enbrel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/online.epocrates.com\/drugs\/206805\/Enbrel\/Adverse-Reactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">serious side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Enbrel include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infections that can happen with a weakened immune system<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuberculosis\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reactivation of hepatitis B\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swollen lymph nodes and sarcoidosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malignancies (lymphoma, leukemia, and skin cancers)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neurological disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worsening of congestive heart failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low white blood counts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflamed optic nerve causing sight problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe hypersensitivity reactions such as serious skin reactions, lupus-like syndrome, and autoimmune hepatitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflamed blood vessels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lung disease<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"infection\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel and infection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All immunosuppressants make the body more vulnerable to infections. In clinical trials, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=a002b40c-097d-47a5-957f-7a7b1807af7f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">81%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of people taking Enbrel experienced infections. This is similar to the rate of infection for other medications that suppress the immune system. In the same trials, 39% of people taking a placebo also had infections. For most people taking Enbrel, these were infections like colds, the flu, and sinus infections (sinusitis).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, severe and even life-threatening infections are possible when taking Enbrel. Opportunistic infections, that is, infections that are usually seen only in people whose immune system is suppressed, are also possible. Anyone taking Enbrel should be aware of symptoms of possible severe infections so they can get timely medical attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"neurological-disorders\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel and neurological disorders<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel belongs to a class of drugs called tumor necrosis factor blockers (TNF blockers). All TNF blockers, including Enbrel, can cause or worsen nervous system demyelinating disorders. These disorders, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/multiple-sclerosis-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multiple sclerosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, demyelinating optic neuritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and transverse myelitis, are caused by inflammation around the nerves that slowly destroys their protective myelin sheath. As the myelin sheath wears away, electrical signals passing through the nerves grow weaker, eventually causing muscle weakness, paralysis, or blindness in the case of optic neuritis. Fortunately, new-onset or worsening of neurological disorders is comparatively rare in people taking Enbrel, affecting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=a002b40c-097d-47a5-957f-7a7b1807af7f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less than 0.1%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of people taking the drug. Still, healthcare providers will be cautious about prescribing Enbrel to anyone who is already diagnosed with one of these disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-do-side-effects-last\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do Enbrel side effects last?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most people, Enbrel\u2019s side effects will be mild and manageable. Many people will notice that they are getting colds or the flu more often. These will go away as they normally do. Injection site reactions like redness, swelling, pain, or itching are another common problem. They, too, will get better in a few days. Cold packs or over-the-counter pain medications can help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other side effects may last longer. Serious infections, malignancies, blood disorders, or allergic reactions will require medical treatment and could take weeks or even months to resolve. Some of the worst side effects of Enbrel such as neurological disorders or worsening of heart failure may have long-term or even lifelong complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"warnings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel contraindications and warnings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All drugs that suppress the immune system may cause serious problems in some people. Before taking Enbrel, people should know if they have any medical conditions that may make Enbrel treatment more hazardous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abuse and dependence<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not classify Enbrel as a drug that can cause abuse or dependence. Stopping Enbrel will not cause withdrawal symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overdose<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=a002b40c-097d-47a5-957f-7a7b1807af7f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In clinical trials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, no adverse effects were observed when people were given twice the recommended adult dose. However, if too much Enbrel or any other prescription drug is taken, always call a poison helpline or get emergency medical treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restrictions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who have hypersensitivity reactions to etanercept or any of its inactive ingredients cannot take Enbrel. People with latex allergies should be aware that the needle protectors on the Enbrel SureClick autoinjector, Enbrel Mini cartridge pen injector, and the prefilled syringe are made of rubber. People with latex allergies can use Enbrel stored in vials for use with regular needles and syringes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As might be expected, Enbrel is avoided or used with caution in people who need a fully-functioning immune system. People with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/sepsis-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sepsis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are at risk of dying when taking immunosuppressants, so Enbrel is prohibited in these patients. Enbrel treatment will not be started in people with active infections, but most people who develop mild infections while on Enbrel can continue to take the medicine with extra monitoring. Because of the risk of infection or cancer, healthcare providers will be cautious about prescribing Enbrel to people:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At risk for infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A history of chronic or recurrent infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At risk for opportunistic or fungal infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At risk for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/tuberculosis-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuberculosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a latent tuberculosis infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a latent hepatitis B infection (HBV carrier)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a history of cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At risk for cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With advanced or poorly controlled <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/diabetes-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diabetes mellitus<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Enbrel can worsen certain\u00a0 medical conditions, Enbrel is used cautiously in people with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/congestive-heart-failure-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congestive heart failure<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demyelinating nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis or optic neuritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bone marrow suppression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History of blood disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy and nursing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnant women are prescribed Enbrel in all stages of pregnancy. There is no clinical evidence that etanercept causes birth defects or affects pregnancy, but this is still being studied. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should get medical advice from a healthcare professional before taking Enbrel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, healthcare professionals believe etanercept is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK500611\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">low-risk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in women who are breastfeeding. Etanercept is present in minimal amounts in human breast milk but, as a large protein, is probably broken down in an infant\u2019s stomach before it can be absorbed. There are no controlled studies of Enbrel\u2019s effects on lactation or a nursing infant, but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK500611\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anecdotal case evidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has shown no problems. Still, women who are breastfeeding may want to weigh the pros and cons of taking Enbrel with a healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel is FDA-approved to treat children as young as 2 years of age for moderate to severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis and as young as 4 years of age for psoriasis. Enbrel has not been determined as safe and effective in children younger than 2 years or for any other condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For parents considering Enbrel for their children, it is important to know that live vaccines should not be given to people taking this medication. There\u2019s a risk that the weakened but live pathogen in the vaccine could develop into an active infection in people taking medicines that suppress the immune system. Not all vaccines are live vaccines. In children, the most common live vaccines given are measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chickenpox), rotavirus, and the nasal spray form of the flu vaccine.\u00a0 In addition, Enbrel may decrease the effectiveness of other types of vaccines, though this hasn\u2019t been proven. To prevent serious infections, it\u2019s important to be up-to-date with as many vaccines as possible before starting immunosuppressive medications. Parents with children on a vaccination schedule will need to weigh the pros and cons of taking Enbrel or any other immunosuppressant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seniors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=a002b40c-097d-47a5-957f-7a7b1807af7f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In clinical trials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Enbrel was effective and safe in people older than 65 years of age. However, people older than 65 tend to have more infections than younger adults, so healthcare providers will monitor seniors more closely for infections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"interactions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel interactions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enbrel has some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/online.epocrates.com\/drugs\/206804\/Enbrel\/Drug-Interactions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drug interactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but most are related to Enbrel\u2019s suppression of the immune system.

Healthcare providers will avoid other monoclonal antibodies, or biologics, that also suppress the immune system such as Orencia (abatacept) and Kineret (anakinra). Other immune-suppressing drugs that will be avoided or used with caution include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/glucocorticoids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corticosteroids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/sulfasalazine\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sulfasalazine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and immune-suppressing anticancer drugs such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/cyclophosphamide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cyclophosphamide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-avoid-side-effects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to avoid Enbrel side effects<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people taking Enbrel will experience side effects. The most common are mild infections and injection site reactions. There are some steps people can take to minimize common and serious side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Inform the healthcare provider about infections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting an Enbrel prescription, make sure that you do not currently have an infection. Tell the healthcare provider about any known or suspected infections. The healthcare provider will especially need to know if you\u2019ve ever had tuberculosis or hepatitis B. Also make sure you inform the prescriber about any open cuts, diabetes, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/hiv-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIV<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you get lots of infections or they keep coming back, the prescriber needs to know this, too. The prescriber will ask where you grew up, where you\u2019ve traveled, or if you\u2019ve been around anyone with chickenpox or other infections. This is to find out if you could have been exposed to anything that could cause a serious infection when the immune system is suppressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, report any symptoms of an infection such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fever, chills, or sweats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cough<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sore throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stuffy nose<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin sores or skin areas that are red or painful<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stomach pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burning during urination<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Make sure the healthcare provider knows about all medical conditions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step in avoiding side effects is to make sure the healthcare provider has a complete medical history. For Enbrel, the medical professional will need to know about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any nervous system disorder<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congestive heart failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any upcoming surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any recent or upcoming\u00a0 vaccines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergies, including rubber or latex<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy or pregnancy plans<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breastfeeding or breastfeeding plans<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also tell the prescribing healthcare provider about all the prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements being taken. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Take Enbrel as directed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take Enbrel as instructed. Don\u2019t increase or decrease the dose. To gain the maximum benefit from this drug, take each weekly subcutaneous injection as scheduled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Read the step-by-step instructions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that doses are injected properly. Enbrel is packaged with detailed and illustrated instructions for use. Many people find it useful to review these instructions before each weekly injection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Choose a different\u00a0 site for each injection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out which areas of the body are the right ones to inject Enbrel, then choose a different one of those areas to inject each time.
