Tumour necrosis factor blockers are a newer type of DMARD that help ease symptoms more quickly, usually reducing swelling in one to two weeks.
It appears from recent preliminary data that the use of biologic drugs in combination with methotrexate has reduced the chance of this occurrence much more so than the use of conventional DMARD treatment by itself.
While rheumatologists may quibble over the best course of action to follow- either institution of triple DMARD therapy or rapid institution of biologic drugs- most agree that rapid institution of treatment with the aim of remission is advisable.
