About Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage to the joints, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can also cause fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite.

There is currently no cure for RA, but there are several treatment options available to help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. One such treatment option is infusion therapy, which involves the administration of medication through an intravenous (IV) infusion.

Infusion therapy for RA is typically administered in a hospital or outpatient infusion center, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The frequency and duration of treatment depends on the specific medication being used and the individual’s response to treatment.

While infusion therapy can be an effective treatment option for managing RA, it does come with some potential risks and side effects. These can include allergic reactions, infusion reactions, and increased susceptibility to infections. It is important for patients undergoing infusion therapy to closely monitor their symptoms and report any side effects to their healthcare provider.

Overall, infusion therapy is a valuable treatment option for individuals with RA who have not responded well to other treatments or who have severe symptoms. It can help to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease, improving quality of life for those living with this chronic condition.
