Orencia (abatacept) For Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Orencia (abatacept) - a product of Bristol-Myers Squibb - is in the news today.
ORENCIA® (abatacept) is a prescription medicine that can reduce signs and symptoms in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) — including those who have not been helped enough by other medicines for RA. ORENCIA can further damage the bones and joints which can also reduce signs and symptoms in children and adolescents 6 years of age and older with moderate to severe polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
I would like the patients to understand their condition better in order to help them discern what is best for their life with arthritis in conjunction to what their doctors are telling them! ..
