English term

disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)

COVID-19 GBK English to French Medical Medical (general)
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 sentences:
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)

médicaments (agents) antirhumatismaux modificateurs de la maladie (ARMM)

Definition from Proxim:
Les antirhumatismaux modificateurs de la maladie (ARMM)<br /><br />Le méthotrexate est l’ARMM le plus étudié et le plus prescrit dans la PAR. D’autres ARMM, comme l’hydroxychloroquine, le léflunomide et la sulfasalazine, sont aussi utilisés pour traiter cette maladie. Ces derniers sont utilisés en association avec le méthotrexate ou sans le méthotrexate lorsque celui-ci n’est pas approprié.
Example sentences:
Hyponyme MeSH : DMARD; Médicaments antirhumatismaux modificateurs de la maladie; ARMM; Antirhumatismal modificateur de la maladie; Antirhumatismaux modificateurs de la maladie; Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; Agent antirhumatismal non stéroïdien; Médicaments antirhumatismaux non stéroïdiens; (chum rouen fr)
La leflunomide, qui compte parmi les agents antirhumatismaux modificateurs de la maladie (ARMM), ne présente pas de risques plus élevés d'effets secondaires hépatiques que les médicaments classiques, mais d'autres ARMM plus récents pourraient en présenter, affirment des chercheurs de l'Institut de recherche du Centre universitaire de santé McGill (CUSM).
