It is understandable that patients stop taking medication, because rheumatoid arthritis is a common chronic disease, need to adhere to the medication for a long time, almost every day to take medication on time, patients and friends for a short period of time can still adhere to, a long time will not be willing to adhere to, especially after the symptoms have improved, they feel that do not take the medication on time can be, and stop taking medication on their own. After stopping for a period of time after the relapse and then restart taking medication. In fact, this is not good for the overall control of the disease, we all know that rheumatoid arthritis is a disabling disease, every activity of the disease will cause joints and bone damage. In addition, it can also cause damage to organs outside the joints, such as the heart, lungs, liver and other organs. Therefore, it is still recommended that patients and friends adhere to the medication, do not stop taking the medication on their own, you need your doctor to help you adjust the medication, in the case of being able to control the disease, the minimum medication, but also to control the development of the disease, but also reduce the side effects of the drug. I hope to help patients and friends.
