ENBREL

My daughter receives enbrel via the myclic pre-filled pen which I administer for her. What's very frustrating is that despite using the correct technique we have problems occasionally with pens not operating. I just wondered if this is being experienced by anyone else and if so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrea, I don't use the pens but instead use the syringe. I like the syringe because I can inject slowly then which is a lot less uncomfortable. I've never had a bad syringe either. Might it be worth asking the nurse to show you a syringe? They are prefilled and really easy to use if you don't mind seeing a needle. Like I said, I've never had a problem with it but I know that others have had pens that are 'dudds'.
Good luck and love to your daughter.0 -
Hi Andrea,
I also used a syringe rather than a pen and never had a problem. That way I was in control of how quickly I could administer it and I never had a 'dud'. Maybe they are worth a try for your daughter?
