etanercept methotrexate

I have been on methotrexate for over 20 years and also have been on etanercept (enbrel) but now am only on methotrexate, celebrex and infusions of rituxan every 6 months. I read about all the adverse reactions of all the meds I take and these have never been associated with either of your meds. it could be the vitamin d and calcium deficiencies. best of luck to you.

Hi, my 18 year old son has just found out his girlfriend is pregnant, he had been on methotrexate for the last 13 years and we have always been warned about the dangers of fathering a child, I have read on this site a lot of people saying the child has been ok but they seem only to have been taking this med for a few months, does anyone have any advice for someone who has been taking this drug weekly since they were 5 years old and how it will affect an unborn child as he is at odds of whether t

Etanercept Study Group. Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. ***@**** BACKGROUND/AIMS: Current therapies for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) do not achieve sustained viral clearance in most patients, and are associated with severe toxic effects. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy and safety of etanercept as adjuvant to interferon and ribavirin in treatment-naive patients with HCV.

Can a perispinal etanercept injection help heal severe pain linked to the piriformous muscle?

Can anyone tell me if peri spinal etanercept works ? I have had four back surgeries since 2000. The last two were for decompression of the L-4, L-5 and S-1 nerve roots. My third surgery was performed in January 2011 and the last one in July 2012. I am still having pain around my right hip, left calf , left ankle and left foot. MRI and CT Myloegram do not show anything. Help !

The standard therapy options include intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapharesis, corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, etanercept, mycophenolate mofetil, interferon alpha 2a and tacrolimus. Current ones are interferon beta 1a, rituximab, and high dose cyclophosphamide. Your neurologist needs to apprise you of the long-term side effects since prolonged therapy are required. Botox shots are not known to be used in therapy.

My rheumie for the lupus, and the neuro for myMS are putting their heads together, (I'm blessed with great docs who work together). They are suggesting methotrexate to cover both. According to neuro it is used in secondary progressive. Is anyone here familiar with that drug? I understand it is a mild form of chemotherapy. And, when used for MS, you get a small dose (according to my doc)..nothing compared to the cancer patients. A positive for me is that there would be no more shots.

Does anyone know if skipping a dose of methotrexate can be harmful? I started the medication about 2 months ago and went to emergency yesterday for dizzyness, heavy and tingling limbs, pale etc. I was supposed to take my medicine last night but I didnt. My doctors office is closed. Im not to happy with being on this drug, in fact I dont want to take it again. Im in the process of finding a new rheumatologist that doesnt just stick my on the harshest drug right away.

Take Enbrel once a week and am supposed to take 5mg. injectible of methotrexate weekly. I had gone without the methotrexate for at least six months and have not noticed any difference at all. I am scared to death of the methotrexate. Can anyone explain why my doctor wants me to continue it if it does not seem to make a difference? I do great on the Enbrel by itself, but am sure there are reasons, I just don't understand!

hi I have been taking methotrexate for years but in the last year I have been having low blood counts the rheumy had dropped my meds till the blood count went up then put them up again this happened four times,now my blood count is low on the low dose and he told me to stop taking it,the thing is I have a sore chest and pain halfway up my back left side and I am feeling exhausted all the time is this because of the low blood count? thanks for any info.

I had an ectopic pregnancy about a month ago. I was given Methotrexate. My levels have been checked, they are going down. How long until I'm out of the clear? My doctor is horrible. She told me I should expect bleeding like a heavy period. I've been bleeding heavily for a week. When is this going to be over??

Good luck on the blood test. Methotrexate can be effective, but it is not guaranteed. I had methotrexate and then had to have a D&C. The D&C was such a simple procedure that I was kind of sorry I had wasted the time with the methotrexate (though if it had worked, it would have been the simplest thing to do, so it was not a bad idea or anything.) All I'm saying is that the D&C turned out to be not a biggie. Good luck if that is the way you need to go.

d consider traditional systemic (oral) therapy such as methotrexate, or more commonly these days the self-injected or infused biologic agents such as adalimumab, etanercept, ustekinumab or infliximab.

I was actually specifically told by my OB/GYN not to take folic acid with methotrexate. There is debate that it actually interferes with the methotrexate. Even if it doesn't, folic acid is supposed to assist with cell division so it would counteract the entire point of taking the methotrexate, which attacks rapidly dividing cells. Unless you have an underlying issue you will not become deficient by skipping your folic acid supplementation until your ectopic has been dealt with.

Since my husband and I have been ttc for about 4 years he wanted to help us get through this miscarriage faster so we can start trying again. He suggested Methotrexate. I was just wondering if anyone else here has taken this? I have never had a miscarriage and am just nervous and scared I guess. I would also like to know how long it took you to conceive after the taking the shot? Any information would be great...what it feels like, kind of complications if any you had, etc.

I am 35 years old. My doctor suspected ectopic pregnancy when an ultrasound revealed no gestational sack. This is how it happened. Immediately after finding out I was pregnant (3 days of late period) I took a low dose of Methotrexate (25mg) and Misoprostol. Since I didn't get any bleeding following taking this medicine (which, incidentally was not given to me by a doctor but by a pharmacist friend) I had an appointment with my OBGYN and explained my situation.

She said he would try either prednisone or methotrexate. I would appreciate any experiences or opinions on what worked or didnt and side effects. my doc leans toward methotrexate but I figure u ladies would be best to ask....thanks.

Suppose to start taking 8 methotrexate 2.5 this evening, along with folic acid. My question is, is it ok to have a glass of wine tonight and is it ok to drink wine while taking this med ?

I'm almost sure methotrexate was one of the drugs given. There were mutiple needles being pushed into my IV but I do remember the name methotrexate. Thank you for your quick response.
