The U.S. Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a new oral medication for rheumatoid arthritis, or RA. Tofacitinib, brand name Xeljanz (ZEL'jans) , is for patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who do not respond well to methotrexate, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, or DMARD.
As with other rheumatoid arthritis drugs, these drugs do not cure the disease but can help slow progression and joint damage. In recent clinical trials, some patients have achieved remission using methotrexate in combination with infliximab, adalimumab, or rituximab.isease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are the standard treatments for RA. They are used either alone or in combination with newer biologic DMARDs. DMARDs do not have any common properties other than their ability to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
