The medication for rheumatoid arthritis mainly falls into three categories,

The first category is the choice of anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications, which mainly includes two types: non-steroidal analgesics and low doses of corticosteroids. If the patient's pain symptoms are mild, non-steroidal analgesics can be opted for. However, if the patient's pain symptoms are more severe, and there is significant liver or kidney damage, or concurrent interstitial lung disease, then the use of low doses of corticosteroids should be considered.

The second and most important category is the choice of immunosuppressants, which include drugs like methotrexate and leflunomide.

The third category is the treatment with biologic agents.
