Symptoms and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

Method 1: NSAIDs can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins and produce anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects rapidly, which has a good effect on relieving pain, but can not change the course of the disease. Clinical commonly used are ibuprofen, penicillamine, diclofenac, aspirin, indomethacin, etc.

Method 2: cartilage protectants such as glucosamine sulfate can promote the synthesis of cartilage, inhibit the decomposition of articular cartilage, and also have anti-inflammatory effect. Sulfate rich in glucosamine sulfate itself is one of the essential components for cartilage matrix synthesis. These drugs can relieve pain symptoms, improve joint function, long-term use (more than 2 years) can also delay the destruction of joint structure. Glucosamine sulfate takes effect slowly, but the drug is relatively safe, so it can be taken for a long time, and the effect of treatment is also very good.

Method 3: slow acting anti rheumatic drugs are mostly used in rheumatoid arthritis and serum negative spondyloarthropathy. It has a certain control effect on the disease, but the effect is slow. Commonly used are jinheji (intramuscular or oral), penicillamine, sulfasalazine, chloroquine, etc.
