EDU: Drugs - Kineret use combined with DMARDs

[Guest guest]

Kineret has been indicated for use by patients who have not achieved successful

therapy and control of their arthritis by DMARDs. It can be used by itself or

with other DMARDs. See paragraph under Kineret Indication at

http://www.kineretrx.com/patient/ There are a lot of DMARDs that can be used

but some of the most commonly used DMARDs for Stills Disease are Arava, Kineret,

Methotrexate and a few others.

Q30. Can Kineret® be used in combination with disease-modifying antirheumatic

agents (DMARDs) other than methotrexate (MTX)?
