From the various modifications that have been made on the phenylbutazone structure in order to increase activity and reduce toxicity it has been found that the activity persists when methyl, chloro, hydroxy or nitro groups are introduced into the para position of one or both benzene rings (see oxyphenbutazone (712) as an example). Mofebutazone (714) has also been used in Europe for several years as an antirheumatic drug. [Pg.297]

It is imperative that the initiation of one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs occurs in all patients within the first 3 months of diagnosis to reduce joint erosion. [Pg.867]

Methotrexate is the disease-modifying antirheumatic drug of choice because of its documented efficacy and safety profile when monitored appropriately. [Pg.867]

A disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) should be started within the first 3 months of symptom onset (Fig. 4-1). DMARDs should be used in all patients except those with limited disease. Early use of DMARDs results in a more favorable outcome and can reduce mortality. [Pg.46]

Usual Doses and Monitoring Parameters for Antirheumatic Drugs... [Pg.48]

Methotrexate is one of the disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, which are administered once a week. The initial dose is 7.5 mg administered once a week and the maximum dose is 15-20 mg administered once a week. [Pg.87]

The first-line agents in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac. Diclofenac and indometacin, another NSAID, tend to have similar activity hov/ever, indometacin has a higher incidence of side-effects and therefore diclofenac is more appropriate for initial treatment. Sodium aurothiomalate is classified as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug and is used as a second-line treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, but has been superseded by methotrexate, administered v/eekly. Paracetamol is often indicated in the management of osteoarthritis. Local intra-articular injections of dexamethasone may be administered for the relief of soft-tissue inflammatory conditions. [Pg.293]
