Rheumatoid diseases are very uncomfortable, what medicine is good for rheumatoid arthritis

There are two main categories of medications that are commonly needed for rheumatoid arthritis:

The first is symptomatic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids.

The second category is anti-rheumatic and relieving drugs, including oral traditional anti-rheumatic drugs and biological agents for patients with different types of disease, according to the severity of the patient's condition, as well as their own economic status, and whether there are other complications, and choose an individualized ** regimen.

The most commonly used regimens for patients are oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and oral traditional anti-rheumatic drugs, among which non-steroidal drugs include meloxicam, diclofenac sodium ibuprofen or celecoxib, etc., these drugs can only choose one, and the combined use will not only not increase the efficacy, but also cause serious adverse effects such as gastrointestinal ***.

If the patient is not taking one drug** and does not work well, they can switch to another drug.

The second type of oral anti-rheumatic relieving drugs is generally based on methotrexate, and on the basis of methotrexate, patients can combine hydroxychloroquine or sulfasalazine or lenflunomide, elotimod or azathioprine to control disease activity.

Other drugs that can be selected are glucocorticoids, which are generally recommended to be used in small doses in a short period of time, and biological agents, generally used in severe patients, or the use of drugs just now ** The effect is not good.

It is better to take drugs such as methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine and other drugs for rheumatoid joint pain. The regimen for rheumatoid arthritis should be tailored to the patient's condition, and the principles are usually early, routine, combined, and long-term. Currently** the main drugs for rheumatoid arthritis are methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, and hydroxychloroquine, while others include glucocorticoids, iratimod, and biologics.

In general, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and sodium diclophenolate extended-release tablets can be taken as prescribed. If the condition is more severe, glucocorticoids can be used temporarily, combined with long-term traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and physiotherapy, and the effect is also very good. At the same time, patients may be treated with antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate and leflunomide.

Local cold protection and warmth, avoid cold, and actively prevent joint deformity.

**Rheumatoid drugs are generally divided into four categories:

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as first-line drugs, mainly include ibuprofen, voltarin, meloxicam, etc., which can generally act within a few days, so that the patient's joint function and quality of life can be improved quickly, but the efficacy can not be maintained for a long time, nor can the progression of the disease be controlled;

2. Slow-acting antirheumatic drugs are called second-line drugs, which have a slow onset of effect, but can effectively improve clinical symptoms and prevent or delay the development of the disease, mainly including methotrexate, leflunomide, tripterygium wilfordii, etc.;

3. Glucocorticoids, which have a fast onset of action and effectively control symptoms and improve the condition, but generally only serve as a bridge for slow-acting antirheumatic drugs**;

4. Biological agents, which have the dual effects of regulating the body's immune response and inhibiting the body's inflammatory response, have a good curative effect on rheumatoid disease, and are currently the most promising drugs, mainly including tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin I receptor blockers, and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies and other drugs.
