What medicine is best for rheumatoid disease?

At present, the best drugs for treating rheumatoid diseases belong to biological agents, and the commonly used biological agents include tumor necrosis factor antagonists, interleukin antagonists, CD20 monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic T cell activation antigens.

First, what medicine is best for rheumatoid disease?

1, slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs: such as methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, etc., which take 8- 12 weeks to take effect.
