Medications for the Treatment of Rheumatic Diseases

Medications for treating rheumatic diseases mainly include the following categories: 1. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, celecoxib capsules, etc., which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects and can relieve joint pain and swelling. 2. Glucocorticoids: such as prednisone acetate tablets, methylprednisolone injection, etc., which have strong anti-inflammatory effects; however, long-term use requires attention to potential side effects. 3. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs): such as methotrexate tablets, leflunomide tablets, etc., which can slow disease progression and prevent bone structure damage but require long-term use. 4. Biologic agents: such as inhibitors targeting specific inflammatory factors, which provide new treatment options for rheumatic diseases. All of the above medications must be used under the guidance of a physician to ensure efficacy and safety.
