Biologics
A subset of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) used to treat autoimmune or inflammatory types of arthritis.
What are biologics?[edit | edit source]
Biologics are unique in that they are derived from living sources rather than created with chemicals, like traditional DMARDs.
Route of administration[edit | edit source]
Biologics must be injected or infused.
Stop progression of disease[edit | edit source]
They treat the signs and symptoms of disease and slow or stop progression in order to prevent or minimize permanent joint damage.
