The article features the examination which was conducted to etanercept and adalimumab in terms of their prevalence, incidence and persistence of use in Norway during 2005-2009. The data from Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD) for persons who were administered with etanercept and adalimumab from 2005 to 2009 were collected. It has been found out that there is an increase in the prevalence and incidence of using etanercept and adalimumab from 2005 to 2009 with the highest prevalence for both men and women aged 50-69.
