  • Corticosteroids: decrease severe inflammation and temporarily suppress autoimmune diseases

  • Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs): modulate or suppress the immune system and prevent long-term disease progression

  • Biologic and Biosimilar Drugs: complex molecules manufactured using living microorganisms, plants or animal cells using recombinant DNA technology that target specific components of the immune system to decrease inflammation for moderate to severe disease

  • Novel Small Molecule Agents: targeted therapies that modulate or suppress the immune system and prevent disease progression for moderate to severe disease

  • Viscosupplementation: Hyaluronic Acid Injections to lubricate knee joints to decrease osteoarthritis pain and stiffness and possibly delay joint replacement surgery
