How effective are disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs for treating ankylosing spondylitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mainly Biologic DMAR: The biologic DMARDs are bioloigical disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. These type of DMARDS are effective in ankylosing spondykiitis (AS). The non biologic DMARDs in scientific studies have not shown much efficacy. You can discuss this with your physician.
