Research Notes on Etanercept
Etanercept -- sold under the brand name Enbrel -- is an injectable medication used primarily to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It has also been approved for the treatment of adults 18 and older with chronic, moderate to severe psoriasis. Recently, a case has been reported linking Enbrel with reversing some of the symptoms of Alzheimers disease. Entercept works to block a body chemical called tumour necrosis factor-alpha, which studies suggest may be partly to blame for Alzheimers. Further studies are needed to substantiate this claim. At present, Embrel is not prescribed for Alzheimers in the U.S.
