Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) typically rank among the top three most costly conditions for specialty drugs, along with cancer and multiple sclerosis. RA is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes a range of symptoms, including stiffness and swelling in the joints, particularly in the hands, feet and knees. RA is a form of arthritis that is immune mediated and attacks healthy tissue. If left untreated, this condition can cause significant permanent damage to tissues in the joints, often leading to short- or long-term disability, or in some cases, forcing employees to stop working completely.#PharmacyandMedicalDrugs
