English term or phrase: disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)

Definition from National Center for Biotechnology Info.:
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 sentence(s):

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

改善病情抗风湿药

Definition from 中国免疫学杂志 2018, Vol. 34 I:
近年来随着对RA改变病情药物(disease—modifying antirheumatic drugsDMARDs)的不断认识和发展，特别是新型生物制剂在RA治疗中的应用，使对该病治疗的认识日新月异。美国风湿病学会在2002年RA治疗指南中就已经指出：在RA确诊3个月内应尽早给予DMARDs药物治疗，有助于延缓关节破坏¨]。目前大量研究也已经证实早期应用DMARDs不仅有助于控制症状，也对维持关节功能和结构有益。本文通过综述近年文献探讨RA治疗策略。
