Abstract
Two women with rheumatoid arthritis who had experienced miscarriages became pregnant while they were under etanercept treatment. One stopped etanercept after 3 weeks with increased doses of prednisolone, and the other restarted etanercept at a half doses 3 months later. They delivered a healthy baby at full term, and no problems in both expecting mothers and babies were observed. The use of etanercept in patients with rheumatoid arthritis seemed safe for pregnant mothers and their fetuses.Entities:
