Medication Guides

Logo

The medication guides provide streamlined information on the administration of biologic, antiresorptive, and other medications used to treat patients with rheumatic disease. They also contain alerts about drug supply changes, applicable dosing calculators, and links to the manufacturers full prescribing information and patient guide.

The guides are intended to assist registered nurses (RNs), health professionals new to rheumatology, or people who need basic information about the agents.

Status Update

The medication guides are being updated to reflect the latest best practices. Please check back in late June 2023 for the full listing and new guides.

Patients

If you are a patient, please consult your rheumatologist or health professional for medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment for your unique medical condition.
