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.
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are a varied group of medications that suppress inflammation-causing chemicals to prevent joint damage and reduce symptoms. Most are taken by mouth. According to the American College of Rheumatology, DMARDs most commonly prescribed for psoriatic arthritis are methotrexate, sulfasalazine, cyclosporine and leflunomide. Azathioprine may also be prescribed. Apremilast is a newer DMARD approved in 2014.
