Just saw an ad for using Enbrel to "clear your skin"... [shake]

this drug can cause life-threatening problems ..

I can't believe they are so desperate that they would market this for skin conditions.

Am I the only one who thinks this is nuts??

Unbelievable.....let's shut down our immune system and leave our bodies open to infection, just to clear our skin!

Sounds like a great plan for a teenager!

But they won't give us antibiotics to save our lives. Go figure.

OMG � I have never heard of such a thing. Any doctor that gives this to a patient for acne, should lose his/her license!

I think they're talking about Enbrel to clear your skin of Psoriasis not acne.

That would make more sense, but they never mentioned psoriasis.
