Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) medications

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) medications aim to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and slow disease progression. Common treatments include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate. Biologic therapies targeting specific pathways are also used for patients with moderate to severe RA.
