Alternatives to Enbrel

Alternatives to Enbrel -- Posted by fkissam on 05-03-05 11:36

If I am unable to afford Enbrel to decrease the Tumor Necrosis Factor, what
other alternatives do I have for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohns?

Is there anything available homeopathically that would be similar?

Have you already tried Azulfidine (sulfasalazine)?

Maybe your doctor will put you on Remicade, which is also a TNF regimen,
except it is administered by IV. After first couple of treatments it is
given every 8 weeks. Since it is a medical procedure Medicare and insurance
pays more for it. Many people have done well on it, and if you are close to
your doctor or hospital would not be too much of a problem. Good luck!

also, peggy didn't specifically mention this, but remicade is used for
both RA and crohns.
