A member asked:
Is there a difference in humira and enbrel (etanercept) treatment of psoriasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No great...: No great differences. Enbrel (etanercept) is once weekly and Humira is once every two weeks. They have similar efficacy in large trials, but differences exist between individuals! both should be tried only after Methotrexate therapy has failed!
