Treatment Options
The pain caused by RA is often managed with pain medications including NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Aleve. Drugs called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are typically used to slow the progression of RA and prevent permanent damage to your joints and bones.
If conventional DMARDs have not eased your symptoms, your medical provider may recommend biologic infusions. While still DMARDs, infusions are a more aggressive form of treatment that is beneficial for providing a better quality of life for those suffering from moderate to severe RA. Upon being prescribed an infusion, your doctor may still recommend that you take conventional DMARDs like Plaquenil, Trexall, or Arava to decrease symptoms and the likelihood of developing a permanent disability.
Common Symptoms

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
DISEASE OVERVIEW
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune condition that causes joint linings to become inflamed. If not treated, RA can cause joint deformity and bone erosion, which can lead to severe mobility loss and loss of function in affected joints, particularly the hands.
While RA does not currently have a cure, early intervention and preventative care can minimize symptoms, reduce pain, and prevent the progression of disability.
