DMARDs help control arthritis, but do not cure the disease. For that reason, if remission or optimal control is achieved with a DMARD, it is often continued as a maintenance dosage. Discontinuing a DMARD may reactivate disease or cause a "rebound flare", with no assurance that disease control will be re-established upon resumption of the ...
Conventional DMARDs are known to be the first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. [9] Treatment can be a monotherapy or in combination with other anti-arthritic medications. Common DMARDs include oral methotrexate, leflunomide, or sulfasalazine. Conventional DMARDs have a slow onset of action and can take 2–3 months to exhibit effect. [9]

Methylprednisolone (Depo-Medrol, Medrol, Solu-Medrol) is a synthetic glucocorticoid, primarily prescribed for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. [4] [5] [6] It is either used at low doses for chronic illnesses or used concomitantly at high doses during acute flares.
19-Nor-5-androstenedione, also known as estr-5-ene-3,17-dione, is a synthetic, orally active anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) that was never introduced for medical use.
The dose-limiting side effects are liver damage, lung disease and immunosuppression. [27] The most common side effects (occurring in >1% of those treated with it) are, in approximately descending order of frequency: [7] [10] [2] [28] [29] [5] [4] diarrhea, respiratory tract infections, hair loss, high blood pressure, rash, nausea, bronchitis, headache, abdominal pain, abnormal liver function ...
7α-Methyl-19-norandrostenedione (MENT dione), or 7α-methyl-19-norandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, also known as trestione, as well as 7α-methylestr-4-ene-3,17-dione, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone). [1] [2] It may act as a prohormone of trestolone (7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone ...
Stenbolone, also known as 2-methyl-δ 1-4,5α-dihydrotestosterone (2-methyl-δ 1-DHT) or as 2-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of DHT. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] It is closely related structurally to drostanolone (2-methyl-DHT), 1-testosterone (δ 1 -DHT), and methylstenbolone (17α-methylstenbolone).
