FAQ's

The primary treatments for rheumatoid arthritis typically include disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as methotrexate, corticosteroids, NSAIDs to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, and biologic agents targeting specific immune pathways. These drugs aim to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of joint damage.

The primary hurdle in the rheumatoid arthritis drug market is the high cost of medications, which can limit access to treatment for some patients. Additionally, there are challenges related to potential side effects and the need for ongoing monitoring and management of the disease.

Increasing prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis and innovation in rheumatoid arthritis therapy.
