What Is Etanercept Used For?
Etanercept is used to help relieve the symptoms of several inflammatory conditions that affect the joints and skin. These conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, among others. Although etanercept cannot cure these conditions, it can help to prevent future damage from occurring. Possible off-label uses for etanercept include treating Wegener’s granulomatosis and inflammatory skin conditions.
