Severe adverse drug reactions to biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis in clinical practice.
OBJECTIVES Biological DMARDs are widely used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but their relationship with adverse drug reaction (ADR) is important. RA is now known to increase in incidence and prevalence with age. Our objective was to assess the incidence of severe ADR in the long term, compare safety between the different bDMARDs and identify other possible risk factors for severe...
متن کاملBone mineral density changes during treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with disease-modifying-anti-rheumatic drugs

متن کاملOptimizing outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis patients with inadequate responses to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs.
Conventional DMARDs such as MTX are the mainstay of treatment for patients with RA. However, failure to achieve adequate disease control in many patients, even with combination therapy, has spurred the development of agents that target various immune mediators involved in the disease process. In the past decade, biologic agents have proved viable as alternative or add-on therapy to DMARDs in pa...
