Detailed explanation-1: -DMARDs work by: Reducing your immune system’s response to attacking its healthy tissues (most broadly). Targeting a specific pathway of your body’s immune system response. Working on individual immune system proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conventional DMARDs suppress the overall immune system, whereas biologics block specific parts of the immune system, such as proteins that promote inflammation. Biologics are more complex and harder to make than conventional DMARDs and cost much more. And unlike small-molecule drugs, they don’t come in pill form.
Detailed explanation-3: -Common side effects include upset stomach and mouth sores. Methotrexate can rarely interfere with the bone marrow’s production of blood cells. Low blood cell counts can cause fever, infections, swollen lymph nodes, easy bruising, and bleeding.
