Biologics can be "addictive" after a long time? That rheumatic patient can't fight, how to fight?

Don't want to miss Jiemei's push? Poke the blue word "medical rheumatism and nephropathy channel" to pay attention to us, and click the "··" menu in the upper right corner, and select "set as star" below, we will systematically understand biological agents from various angles! Biological agents are widely used in the field of rheumatic immunity in recent decades.although there have been many large-scale clinical studies in the field of medicine, biological agents are still in a mysterious and high cold status for the vast number of patients.many patients' understanding of the word "biological agent" may only be limited to its quick effect and high price. Some friends even use it when it is a pain killer. If it is not painful, it will be different. They do not have a comprehensive and correct understanding of it.in the communication between patients and patients, people often have different degrees of doubt about this expensive drug, especially for addiction, so most of the patients are very confused.let's have a systematic understanding of biological agents from various angles.can biological agents be addictive? Can't you stop after you hit it? Outpatient, often encounter some patients ask: biological agents hit for a long time is not addictive? It's said that it can't stop when it's used? Is that really the case? First of all, it is very clear that biological agents are not addictive.due to the remarkable effect of biological agents on ankylosing spondylitis, some patients may feel no pain after using biological agents once or twice.for the sake of cost saving, the drug was stopped by himself, but the inflammatory reaction in the body was not completely controlled at this time, so the disease relapsed rapidly after stopping the drug.at this time, we have to use biological agents again. After a little remission, we can stop the drug and relapse again.after a few cycles, the "addiction" is firmly tied to the head of biological agents.therefore, the so-called "addiction" of some strong friends describes the situation that biological agents can not stop after use, which is caused by unclear understanding of the characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis disease or improper use of biological agents.in fact, most of the patients who use biological agents can reduce or even stop using biological agents after their condition is stable.under what circumstances can biological agents be considered? Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment failure: at least two different kinds of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs treatment for more than 4 weeks no response, or intolerance, may consider biological agent treatment.hip involvement: the disability rate of patients with obvious hip inflammation is particularly high, and the cost of drugs is far less than the cost of joint replacement. Generally, all rheumatologists will recommend you to use biological agents.if the economy is not very difficult, it is suggested not to hesitate. If it is a little hard to bear and only causes short-term life difficulties, conditions should be created to apply them (and now several biological agents have entered the medical insurance system), otherwise, the replacement price will be higher when the joint needs to be changed.combined with psoriasis, iritis and inflammatory bowel disease: for these patients, there is good evidence to prove that biological agents have good effect, and they can also be used.patients with ultra early stage of inflammation are more serious: at this time, it is possible to nip the disease in the embryonic stage, so it is necessary to be positive.What preparations should be made for the use of biological agents? Tumor, active infection, tuberculosis and hepatitis should be excluded before use.blood routine test, ESR, CRP, liver and kidney function, viral hepatitis series, tspot (or PPD test), chest X-ray (or lung CT) and other results are required.in conclusion, the emergence of biological agents brings new hope for rheumatic patients.under the premise of overall assessment of the disease condition and risk, early, cautious and regular use of biological agents can quickly control the progress of the disease, so that patients can win the starting line to overcome the pain.source: Qiangzi as home editor: Fenghe copyright notice!
