Battling Arthritis

What search engine do you use? I use Google and it is even my homepage.

I use Google a lot when looking up anything, as much as I use the hard copy of Encyclopedia Britannica in my younger days. Although in Google, I don’t need to use the Alphabet as my guide, I just type up a keyword and search.

What if I search “arthritis drug”?

I found out that the following will come up:

1. Arthritis Drugs at About Arthritis

Information is about the basics on arthritis medications including side effects and adverse reactions.

Most importantly, the options on arthritis drugs:

• NSAIDs/Cox-2-inhibitors
• DMARDs
• Corticosteroids (steroids)
• Analgesics (Pain Killers)
• Biologic Response Modifiers (Biologics)

2. Arthritis Drugs Database

Although I haven’t used this website before, it contains information about commonly prescribed drugs for arthritis that arranged alphabetically by brand name and also includes drug group, prescribing information, side effects, etc.

3. Arthritis Today Magazine/Drug Guide/Arthritis Treatments

Arthritis Today is the consumer health magazine published by The Arthritis Foundation –containing a drug guide to the latest information about the drugs used for arthritis and related diseases.

Rest assured that you can trust anything written on the Mayo Clinic website. I often use to hyperlink medical terms and condition in all my blogs.

A cure for rheumatoid arthritis may not be on the immediate horizon. But you may be encouraged to know that some promising rheumatoid arthritis drugs are being developed.
