  • Title: Rethinking the therapeutic pyramid for rheumatoid arthritis. When are NSAIDs alone not enough?
    Author: Brick JE, DiBartolomeo AG.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1992 Feb 01; 91(2):75-6, 79-83, 86 passim. PubMed ID: 1738751.
    Abstract:
    A large number of agents that compare quite favorably to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in terms of toxicity and efficacy are available to physicians for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Primary care physicians need to familiarize themselves with the use of these drugs and consider prescribing them early in the course of the disease, when they may be of greatest benefit.
