Rheumatoid arthritis is among the most unbearable form of arthritis, causing joints to ache and throb and eventually become deformed. Sometimes these symptoms make even the simplest activities — such as opening a jar or taking a walk — difficult to manage. Despite continued research, doctors still aren’t sure what actually causes rheumatoid arthritis. But it is believed that the body’s immune system attacks the tissue that lines our joints. However, a new class of drug called Oracea is offering some hope to people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. This new drug belongs to the class of Co-stimulation modulators.

Oracea work by interfering with a type of white blood cell called T cells. These T cells play a very vital role in our immune system by attacking viruses, bacteria and other disease causing viruses. Researchers believe that these T- cells play a central role in rheumatoid arthritis that creates a chain of events showing the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid. It is believed that when this T cells gets activated, there is inflammation in the joints and may cause damage.

Studies have found that Oracea can reduce the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Oracea inactivates T cells by interfering with the process that turns T cells active. If they don’t turn on it, these T cells cause inflammation in the joints and can even damage it.

Oracea is an intravenous therapy. A doctor administers Oracea into a vein in the arm and each infusion takes around half an hour to complete. Generally, one receives Oracea infusion every two weeks for the first month and then after every four weeks.

Side effects have occurred in people taking Oracea. Among them the most common side effects are back pain, cough, dizziness, headache, rash, painful hands and feet, nausea and also urinary tract infection in most rare cases. So patients are asked to carefully weigh the expected benefit from this drug against the possible side effects to decide whether Oracea is a better option or not. If any of you are concerned about the potential side effects, consult a doctor.

Though there is no treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, but with proper medical treatment with Oracea, a strategy for joint protection can be taken. This can change your life and can live a long productive life under this condition of rheumatoid.
