new drugs coming out for rheumatoid arthritis
December 1998
There's lots of excitement about all the new drugs coming out for rheumatoid arthritis...Arava, Enbrel, Celebrex, Vioxx, etc.
Arava (leflunomide, Hoechst) is a new disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). It's for first-line therapy...as an alternative to methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, etc.
Arava is an immunomodulator. It reduces the production of T-cells to reduce pain and slow joint destruction.
