Humera vs enbrel (etanercept) for jra? rheumo gave me a choice to treat my child she has jra snd enthesis.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Equivalent: These 2 meds are basically equivalent with the same benefits and risks. The only difference is that Humira is generally given every 2 weeks and Enbrel (etanercept) is given weekly.
