AN OVERVIEW ON TREATMENT OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
AbstractRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease associated with chronic inflammation of the joints. If it is untreated then it leads to destruction of joints, erosion of cartilage and bone and eventually leads to loss of physical function. Since, RA is not complete curable disease, the treatment goals are to reduce the pain and stop/slow further damage. With advancement in the field of molecular biology, a better understanding of disease mechanisms is available which can help in the designing of more effective treatments. Old treatment modes have been optimized and new ones have been produced. Nowadays, different classes of drugs with different mechanism of action are available to control the inflammation and to achieve remission. The aim of this review is to discuss previous and present treatment options for treating RA and its complications.
