20
Q

Hylan GF20, reported to decrease pain.

A

Hyaluronate Injection

21
Q

Drug/s for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A
  1. Salicylates and NSAIDs
  2. Corticosteroids
  3. DMARDs
  4. Gold Preparations
  5. Azathioprine (Imuran)
  6. Penicillamine (Cuprimine)
  7. Cyclosporine
23
Q

NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors that reduce joint pain and swelling but they do not alter the course of the disease or prevent joint destruction.

A

Salicylates and NSAIDs

24
Q

It can work well either orally or parenterally. They have excellent anti-inflammatory activity and are immunosuppressants. Used as bridging therapy (as long as DMARDs are taking effect).

A

Corticosteroids

25
Q

These are not clearly defined but they act at different stages in the pathogenesis to control symptoms and modulate immune response.

A

DMARDs

26
Q

Drug/s under DMARDs

A
  1. Leflunomide (Arava)
  2. Etanercept (Enbrel)
  3. Infliximab (Remicide)
  4. Anakinra (Kineret)
  5. Methotrexate
27
Q

It inhibits pyrimidine synthesis and is indicated as monotherapy for RA.

A

Leflunomide (Arava)

28
Q

It binds to TNF-alpha and beta, inhibiting the inflammatory response mediated by immune cells. It is indicated as monotherapy or in conjunction with methotrexate.

A

Etanercept (Enbrel)

29
Q

It binds to TNF-alpha. Superior than methotrexate alone.

A

Infliximab (Remicide)

30
Q

The newest DMARD is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist.

A

Anakinra (Kineret)

31
Q

A class of glycoprotein that is produced by leukocytes for regulating immune response.

A

Interleukin

32
Q

A DHF reductase inhibitor.

A

Methotrexate

33
Q

The mechanism of action is unknown. Dermatologic reactions are the most common side effect and are seen in approximately 15% of patients.

A

Gold Preparations

34
Q

Drug/s under Gold Preparations

A
  1. Aurothioglucose
  2. Gold Na Thiomalate
  3. Auranofin
35
Q

It is converted to 6-mercaptopurine in the body and is non-specific purine synthesis inhibitor.

A

Azathioprine (Imuran)

36
Q

The mechanism of action of this drug in rheumatoid arthritis is unknown but it may be related to reduction of collagen formation.

A

Penicillamine (Cuprimine)

37
Q

It binds to intracellular receptor, cyclophiline. This complex inhibits calcineurin.

A

Cyclosporine

38
Q

An intracellular phosphatase, which involves activation of the promoter region for the gene encoding cytokine, such as interleukin.

A

Calcineurin

39
Q

Drug/s for Osteoporosis

A

Biphosphonates

42
Q

Estrogen agonist at bone but antagonist in the breast and uterus.

A
