What medication is used for Still's disease

[CuriousCat]

I'm looking for help from other forum users regarding medication used for Still's disease. I'm new to this condition and I'm not sure what medication is used to treat it. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge about this? What kind of medication is usually prescribed? Are there any side effects to these medications? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The main medications used to treat Still's disease include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and biologic response modifiers. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs are often used to reduce inflammation and reduce symptoms of Still's disease. These medications work by blocking the production of substances that cause inflammation in the body. Common NSAIDs prescribed to treat Still's disease include ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. These drugs are usually taken in tablet form, but can also be taken intravenously. Common corticosteroids used to treat Still's disease include prednisone and dexamethasone. Biologic Response Modifiers

Biologic response modifiers are a newer type of medication that helps to reduce inflammation by targeting specific parts of the immune system. The most commonly used biologic response modifier is etanercept, which is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and Still's disease.

The type of medication used to treat Still's disease depends on the severity of the symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, may be used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. Immunosuppressant drugs, such as methotrexate or cyclosporine, may be used to reduce the activity of the immune system. In severe cases, biologic drugs, such as etanercept or infliximab, may be used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. In some cases, other drugs such as hydroxychloroquine or sulfasalazine may be used. Each case is different and your doctor will be able to advise you on the best treatment option for you.

The treatment of Still's disease depends on the severity of the symptoms. Mild cases may be managed with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and other anti-inflammatory medications. Severe cases may require steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine or methotrexate, to control inflammation. In rare cases, biologic drugs may be needed to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation, which can help improve joint pain and stiffness. Additionally, physical therapy, exercises, and lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and avoiding smoking can help to manage the condition.

Answer: Still's disease is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis that can cause a range of symptoms, including high fever, rash, and joint pain. Treatment typically involves the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or indomethacin to reduce inflammation and pain. Corticosteroids such as prednisone may also be used to reduce inflammation and suppress the body's immune system. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often used to slow the progression of Still's disease and prevent joint damage. DMARDs include medications such as methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, and leflunomide. Additionally, biologic response modifiers such as etanercept, adalimumab, and infliximab may be prescribed. Finally, physical therapy and exercise are recommended to help strengthen the muscles, increase mobility, and reduce pain.

Medications used to treat Still's disease vary depending on the individual. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are usually the first line of treatment, while corticosteroids and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may be prescribed in more severe cases. Biologic drugs, such as TNF-alpha inhibitors, may also be used for those with severe symptoms. In addition, physical therapy and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms.
