Is Enbrel Better Than Plaquenil For The Treatment Of Raynaud S Syndrome?
Can you tell me about the Rx Enbrel. My friend is on Plaquenil & just wondering if Enbrel would be better for him. His SED rate was 111. Now is 62 after taking Plaquenil for 8 months. He has Raynauds & a family hx. of Lupus. He is negative for Lupus. Thank you
Enbrel is a brand name Etanercept which is a newer drug for conditions like Raynaud's disease. It is considered as a better choice when compared to conventional drugs like Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil).
You can continue Enbrel and your treatment is on the right track, nothing much to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
