Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 There is a poll posted that ends 2/2 asking: How long have you waited for a DMARD(Enbrel, Remicade, Orencia) to start improving symptoms of RA? Great poll however..... These medications are BIOLOGICS, not DMARD's. ©x© Kami ©x© Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I do apologize if I am incorrect, however, all of my research, as well as 2 doctors, have separated the DMARD's (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs) and Biologics (or Biolgic Response Modifiers). In other words, they are two different types of drugs. Never thought to ask why however I was told that in order to be placed on a Biologic I would need to fail at least one attempt with a DMARD. ©x© Kami ©x© Re: [ ] Question About Poll They are biologic DMARD's. They are definitely Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs.
