It is important to use Erelzi Sensoready (Etanercept) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose of Erelzi Sensoready (Etanercept), contact your doctor to find out when to take the next dose. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Erelzi Sensoready (Etanercept) is used with the guidance and supervision of a doctor. Your doctor or nurse will help you prepare and inject your first dose (or first few doses).

Single-use pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors should be stored in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C, protected from light, and kept out of the reach of children. Alternatively, this medication may be stored at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C for a maximum single period of 28 days. Do not freeze or shake. If storing in the refrigerator, remove the medication from the refrigerator 30 minutes before administering the injection. This will allow it to warm to room temperature before injecting. Before injecting the dose, carefully examine the solution in the syringe or pen, to ensure that it is clear and colourless or slightly yellowish. If the liquid is cloudy, discoloured, or has large particles, discard the syringe and use another.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
