Problems Injecting Enbrel

Moore, OK

Anyone having difficulty when injecting Enbrel not all of the medication injecting into the skin? I always leave the needle in until it automatically pops up but there is always medication around the injection site.

That is absolutely scary. Those autoinjectors must be calibrated by veterinarians who inject rhinos with tranquilizer darts in the field. The researchers should try them on themselves. Does Humira come in preloaded syringes? Siliq does and it is much better. You can control the speed of the injection and make sure it all goes in. Ask your doctor. I failed Enbrel and my doctor same Humira was basically the same so we moved on.

You may be putting too much pressure on the pen when you inject! It’s happened to me before . Just sit the pen gently on your skin and inject! I hope this helps

If you have too much muscle in the area you're injecting it will do the same thing. I was getting mine in my thigh but I am muscular there so I had my hubby give me an injection in my stomach (scared to death) it hurt less and I didn't lose nearly as much liquid.

I was thinking that there is less medication in them . It use to take longer to pop back up

Whoever did it needs to fix it. The taltz and tremfya shots were much less painful. Siliq was the best.
