Rheumatoid Arthritis by Mary-Claire Mason
There are many different drugs used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and the vast majority of sufferers will spend the rest of their lives taking these powerful drugs. In easy to understand terms, this book explains most of these drugs - what they do, what the patient can expect from them, how long they take to work, side-effects and how to minimise them, food and drug combinations to avoid, what to do when the patient forgets to take their medication, blood tests and the meaning of the results.
Elaine Smith is a rheumatologist formerly of Guy's Hospital, now setting up a rheumatology department in a large Australian town. She is on the editorial board of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin. She has recently co-authored an article on rheumatoid drugs for Which? Health guides. Mary-Claire Mason is an experienced journalist specialising in health issues.
