Drug Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis
#rheumatoid arthritis, #antirheumatic drugs, #biologics, #JAK inhibitors, #small molecule inhibitors, #methotrexate, #targeted therapy, #immunosuppressants
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. After diagnosis, drug treatment is started to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. In recent years, in addition to conventional antirheumatic drugs, a variety of targeted therapies have come into use, including biologics and small molecule inhibitors (JAK inhibitors). Because each drug has different characteristics and side effects, please discuss treatment options thoroughly with your doctor before deciding on the approach that is right for you.2026-06-26
