General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
Using enbrel together with methotrexate may increase the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening infections. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications.
that said, The combination of MTX and Enbrel is well tolerated and in clinical studies, the combination is no worse than either drug alone. They may be taken on the same day or can be scheduled like you said above.

wish you safe and swift recovery
