How do DMARDs work to treat rheumatic diseases?
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) work to treat rheumatic diseases by suppressing the underlying autoimmune response that causes inflammation and damage to joints and other tissues. By regulating the immune system, DMARDs help to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling, and slow the progression of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and lupus. These medications can be taken orally or administered through injections, and may be used in combination with other treatments to effectively manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with rheumatic diseases.
