Re: enbrel and injection site reactions

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

that happened to me many times. it will go away on its own. Try not

to scratch it.

sometimes i get the red and swelling without the itch.

Good luck with your enbrel.

I frequently get ISR (injection site reaction). I have been on Enbrel for 2

years. I don't know what makes it happen and what doesn't. It just does.

I tend to do my injections at night before going to bed. When I get an ISR

it usually occurs fairly rapidly and then will be red the next day with less

itching and then usually gone by the next day.

Hope this helps!

I occasionally have an injection site reaction to Enbrel. I didn't have

the first one until I'd been using it for about a year and a half. I

don't know what I do differently to cause one every now and then. Mine

are about like a mosquito bite, though, and don't itch too much. I use

an anti-itch lotion called Sarna on mine. It's a really good product

for any kind of itching. Sue
