In this episode, we explore pharmacologic management for connective tissue disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and fibromyalgia. Learn about disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, and specialized medications used to alleviate symptoms and slow disease progression. We’ll discuss the role of each medication, potential complications, and essential nursing interventions for managing these chronic conditions. Join us to deepen your understanding of these treatments and their importance in supporting patients with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
