Antirheumatics - what does this mean

Antirheumatics are drugs used to treat rheumatic diseases, which are caused by inflammation of the joints or other tissues. they work by blocking the production of substances that cause inflammation and pain, thereby reducing the symptoms of the disease. they can also be used to slow the progression of the disease and prevent joint damage.

What happens during the disease - antirheumatics

Antirheumatic diseases are a group of conditions that involve inflammation of the joints and other body tissues, resulting from an abnormal immune response. this response leads to the production of excess inflammatory molecules, such as cytokines, which can cause tissue damage, pain, and swelling. in some cases, the abnormal immune response may also lead to the formation of autoantibodies, which can attack the body's own tissues and organs. treatment for antirheumatic diseases typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
