Re: ENBREL USERS PLEASE READ!

[Guest guest]

I have had three injections of the new Enbrel, and I agree with you

that the needles are dull! For such an expensive medicine, you'd think

they could spend another dollar to get sharp needles. I always let it

come to room temperature before injecting, and I also inject very

slowly, so I haven't experienced any stinging.

I also think that the new Enbrel doesn't last the full week. Or maybe

that's my imagination.

I will call Enbrel and complain. But next week when it's time for CVS

to reorder my Enbrel, I'm going to ask for the old again.

Sue,

I see in your email that you use CVS when ordering Enbrel. How do you like

them? Our insurance just changed over and I am nervous about having to use

CVS. We used EHS and the service was great. After reading your email I think

I will stay on the old Enbrel. Any help you can give me regarding CVS would

be much appreciated.

I order my Enbrel through the Walmart Special Pharmacy. They are great - even

calling me to remind me to refill my prescription! (I suppose they don't want

me to take my business elsewhere!) The Enbrel arrives the very next morning by

FedEx. It is packed very well in a styrofoam container and iced. I always

receive a travel sharps container and bandages with my order. It's worth

checking into.
