| Summary: | The lecture considers the present trends in the strategy of pharmacotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the light of the guidelines by the European League Against Rheumatism, the American College of Rheumatology and the All-Russian Public Organization "The Association of Rheumatologists of Russia". It emphasizes the most important role of the treat-to-target RA treatment strategy, the key place of which is occupied by early controlled active therapy with methotrexate (MT). The therapeutic place of glucocorticoids and especially biologic agents, the rational use of which in combination with MT allows a remission to be achieved in most patients, is discussed. |
