Arthritis is a group of conditions where there
is damage caused to the joints of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of
disability in people older than fifty-five years.
There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different
cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint
disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age.
Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal anatomy might contribute to the early
development of osteoarthritis. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis
and psoriatic arthritis, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself.
Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by
deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is
also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of
calcium pyrophosphate. This gout is known as pseudogout.
Arthritis treatment
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over
the age of 55. Treatment options vary depending on the type of arthritis and
include physical and occupational therapy, and medications (symptomatic or targeted
at the disease process causing the arthritis).
Arthritis medications. Arthritis drugs.
Indocin
INDOMETHACIN (Indocin®) is used for treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is used to treat gout or certain types of bursitis and tendonitis. Indocin treats the symptoms of pain and inflammation. It does not treat the disease that causes those symptoms
DICLOFENAC (Voltaren®-XR) is an anti-inflammatory drug. Diclofenac reduces the joint pain, stiffness, inflammation, or swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
METHOTREXATE is a type of chemotherapy that is used to treat certain kinds of cancer and other diseases. Methotrexate affects cells that are rapidly growing such as cancer cells, cells of psoriasis, and cells in your mouth and stomach. Methotrexate is used to treat many different types of cancers including leukemias, lymphoma, breast cancer, and others. Lower dose of methotrexate may be given to patients with psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis
MECLOFENAMATE (meclofenamate sodium) and MEFENAMIC ACID (Ponstel®) are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Meclofenamate helps relieve inflammation and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Both drugs help relieve mild to moderate pain, including menstrual cramps or premenstrual discomfort
IBUPROFEN (Motrin®) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Motrin is used in adults for relief of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, treatment of menstrual pain, and relief of mild to moderate pain. In children aged 6 months and older it can be given to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain. It is also used to relieve the symptoms of juvenile arthritis
CELECOXIB (Celebrex) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, painful menstruation and menstrual symptoms, and to reduce numbers of colon and rectum polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.
NAPROXEN (Naprosyn®) is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and juvenile arthritis. It is used to treat tendonitis, bursitis, gout, menstrual cramps, or mild to moderate pain. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Naprosyn treats the symptoms of pain and inflammation. It does not treat the disease that causes those symptoms
LEFLUNOMIDE (Arava) is the first isoxazol derivative approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide was also the first agent for rheumatoid arthritis indicated for both symptomatic improvement and retardation of structural joint damage based on radiographic evidence of its disease modifying activity.
