RA MEDICATION OPTIONS

SufferingOnHumira profile image

I am constantly seeing references to the medical name of many medications that I have been on and I found this list online that has been extremely valuable. I thought I would share.

If nothing else it’s a quick reference guide to all the options that are available. I hope it’s helpful

The info on the national rheumatoid association site is also good, here

Helpful. Maybe even more useful is a thread you'll find under Pinned Posts on each page (you'll need to tap on See all > as it's hidden from the listings) under the title Common abbreviations and acronyms on this community. You'll find all medications (not only biologics), their generic & UK brand names plus commonly used abbreviations used on this site there, other helpful info too.

If Victoria happens to see this can I ask if there is there any way the thread could be relisted or bumped up given it seems to be permanently hidden now since newer info has been added to the Pinned Posts? Thanks.

Hello, hello NMH! Glad you’re back as was beginning to worry. Hope all’s well.

All's well. Not been around much P, only with having stuff to do on the bungalow & garden. Jiggered after dinner when I do have time to catch up, often nod off.

Not what you're looking for?
