English term or phrase: disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)
Definition from National Center for Biotechnology Info.:
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are a class of drugs indicated for the treatment of inflammatory arthritides including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). They can also be used to in the treatment of other disorders including connective tissue disease such as systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and Sjogren syndrome (SS), as well as in treatment of inflammatory myositis, vasculitis, uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and some types of cancers.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hydroxychloroquine has been available since 1955 as an antimalarial drug. I have at least 6 patients at the pharmacy who have used hydroxychloroquine to manage their rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn disease. If you were sitting in my pharmacology class, I’d tell you that it is an antimalarial used as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). I would tell you it is a cheap drug with good efficacy for some and also that it is 1 of 2 DMARDs that are safe to use in patients with liver failure. You would also learn that it may cause deposition of the drug in the melanin layer of the cones in the retina, underscoring the need for annual eye exams. MJH Life Sciences

Barna anti-reumatike modifikuese (zbutëse) të sëmundjes


Definition from own experience or research:
Barnat antirheumatike modifikuese të sëmundjes (DMARDs) janë një klasë e barnave të indikuara për trajtimin e artritëve inflamatorë, përfshirë artritin reumatoid (RA), artritin psoriatik (PSA) dhe spondylitin ankilozues (AS).

Example sentence(s):
  • Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) konsiderohet një DMARD më i vjetër ( droga anti-reumatike që modifikon sëmundjet). Plaquenil fillimisht u klasifikua si një ilaç antimalarik, por përdoret gjithashtu për të trajtuar disa gjendje reumatike dhe autoimune të cilat nuk kanë lidhje me malarien. Në përgjithësi, Plaquenil është një opsion trajtimi si monoterapia (përdoret vetëm) për artrit reumatoid të butë ose si një kombinim i terapisë me DMARDs të tjerë për sëmundje të moderuar deri në të rënda. - https://sq.approby.com/plaquenil-hydroxy
