You can use three classes of medication to treat RA: NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and DMARDs. NSAIDs and corticosteroids have a short onset of action, while DMARDs take a while to take effect. DMARDs include methotrexate, infliximab and etanercept (these target TNF-alpha), and hydroxychloroquine. Auranofin is an oral gold compound that is also a DMARD, but it is rarely used.
