Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can cause joint pain and damage throughout your body. It most commonly affects the knees, wrists, and joints in the hands.

After getting the necessary tests, your healthcare provider may prescribe you the following over-the-counter medications.

• Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Corticosteroids
• Acetaminophen

These medications help reduce the pain and inflammation during your rheumatoid arthritis flares. If you have questions regarding these medications, you can always talk to a consultant pharmacist in New Jersey. This way, you will know the proper dosage and side effects of each medicine.

Meanwhile, when over-the-counter medication no longer works for you, your doctor may recommend these medications.

• Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
• Biologics
• Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors

By taking one of these medications, the damage that rheumatoid arthritis can cause to your body may slow down. If you need more details about each medication, you can visit a specialist pharmacy in Belleville, New Jersey.
