From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

A subset of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) used to treat autoimmune or inflammatory types of arthritis.

What are biologics?[edit | edit source]

Biologics are unique in that they are derived from living sources rather than created with chemicals, like traditional DMARDs.

Route of administration[edit | edit source]

Biologics must be injected or infused.

Stop progression of disease[edit | edit source]

They treat the signs and symptoms of disease and slow or stop progression in order to prevent or minimize permanent joint damage.
