Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis develops when the immune system attacks the synovium, the tissue lining around a joint. Why this happens is not clear. Some people may have genes that are activated by a trigger in the environment, such as a virus or bacteria, physical or emotional stress or some other external factor.

Yes. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. The immune system, which should defend the body against infection, attacks the joints instead, and the inflammation this causes leads to symptoms such as pain and stiffness.

Sandimmune and Gengraf are brand names of cyclosporine. HCQS is a brand name of hydroxychloroquine. Imurel and Azamun are brand names of azathioprine. The medicines listed here are generics, not the original brands.

Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms may come and go, and pain levels can also vary from day to day. When there is a lot of inflammation and other symptoms, this is called a flare, and a flare can last for days or months.

Each medicine for rheumatoid arthritis has its own product page with the price per capsule or tablet for every strength and pack size, in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars or another currency you pick from the currency menu. The cards on this page show the starting price per capsule or tablet of each product.

Fatigue is one of the important symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and it is more than just normal tiredness. It can be due to anaemia, from low haemoglobin levels in the blood, but it can also be due to the inflammation itself. Some people also get flu-like symptoms with fever and muscle pains, especially in the early days.

DMARDs are disease modifying drugs for rheumatoid arthritis that reduce the immune system attack. They can take weeks or even months to work. They control the disease over the long term and reduce or prevent damage. DMARD treatment might be one drug or a combination of drugs, and it usually includes methotrexate.
