Abstract:
Four patients with rheumatoid arthritis received a combination of methotrexate and sulfasalazine for a mean of 24 months (range 20-28 months). All 4 patients experienced clinical improvement, with a reduction in the number of involved joints and in morning stiffness. In all 3 patients who had previously taken methotrexate, we were able to reduce the dosage, and the prednisone dosage was reduced in 2 of 3 patients who had previously taken that drug. No serious toxicity was observed in any patient.
