  16. What are DMARDs?
    Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs - ability to reduce or prevent joint damage and preserve joint integrity and function
  17. Hydroxychloroquine
    Plaquenil - inhibits IL-1 = decreased chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Causes retinal damage, rash, skin pigment changes, and peripheral neuropathy.
  18. Sulfasalazine
    Azulfidine - sulfapyridine metabolite inhits endothelial cell proliferation, ROS, and cytokines. Effects are quicker than Plaquenil. May cause GI intolerance, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia
  19. Methotrexate
    Rheumatrex - interferes with DNA synthesis - take only ONCE a WEEK. Teratogen (category X). May cause liver damage, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, stomatitis.
  20. Leflunomide
    Arava - inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and ahs antiproliferative activity. Teratogen (Category X), diarrhea, alopecia
  21. Pencillamine
    Cuprimine - MOA unknown. May cause thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, proteinuria, stomatitis
  22. List biologics used in treatment of RA
    • Anakinra (Kineret)
    • Etanercept (Enbrel)
    • Infliximab (Remicade)
    • Adalimumab (Humira)
    • Abtacept (Orencia)Rituximab (Rituxan)
  23. Symptoms of RA may include:
    • Multiple joint pain
    • Morning stiffness (gel-like sensation)
    • Generalized fatigue
  24. Osteoarthritis is usually characterized by:
    • Pain in weight bearing joints
    • Morning stiffness that is relatively short in duration in comparison to RA - generally resolves with movement.
    • Crepitus is common (crackling noise)
  25. What are the oral drug therapy for OA?
    • APAP
    • NSAIDs
    • Tramadol
  26. What are intra-articular drugs used to treat OA?
    • Glucocorticoids
    • Hyaluronan (Orthovisc)
  27. What are topical meds used to treat OA?
    • Capsaicin
    • Methyl salicylate
  28. What three drug classes are generally used in the treatment of an acute gouty arthritis attack?
    • Colchicine - 3 tabs within 1st hour
    • NSAIDs
    • Corticosteroids
  29. Which drugs are used for gout prophylaxis?
    • Probenecid (Benemid)
    • Sulfinpyrazone (Anturane)
    • Allopurinol (Zyloprim)
    • Febuxostat (Uloric)
  30. Probenecid
    Benemid - Uricosuric agent that promotes excretion of uric acid
  31. Sulfinpyrazone
    Anturane - uricosuric that promotes extretion of urice acid
  32. Allopurinol
    Zyloprim - inhibits xanthine oxidase formation --> affects azathioprine and 6-MP
  33. Febuxostat
    Uloric - inhibits xanthine oxidase formation
