Drugs called DMARDS (diseasemodifying anti-rheumatic drugs), such as methotrexate, reduce inflammation and suppress the disease by blocking the effects of damaging inflammatory chemicals. Therefore, there has been great interest in the development of drug treatments that are more effective than the current biologic drugs, but have less toxicity than the older DMARDS, while being able to be given via the oral route. Physicians prescribe DMARDs to limit the amount of joint damage that occurs in rheumatoid arthritis. |
