If in case you are not familiar with what these two things are, you should know that they are both drugs. They are used in order to provide relief for symptoms related to Rheumatoid Arthritis. They may have some differences that will make you choose one drug over the other. Humira is something that you can take every other week. Enbrel, on the other hand, can be taken weekly. Humira is less expensive as compared to Enbrel. You can expect to pay about $4000 for Enbrel but you only have to pay up to $2,400 a month for Humira. Take note that you cannot take both drugs together as they may cause serious side effects.

If in case you are not familiar with these two, these are medications that are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. A lot of people know that they are very similar to each other because of their ability to get rid of the symptoms of the condition. One of the main differences is how often they can be taken. Humira can be taken weekly, although some people would only be allowed to take it every other week.

Enbrel is a medication that can be taken weekly. Another difference is that Humira can be used for other conditions. For instance, it can also be recommended to treat psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and also Crohn’s Disease.
