Sažetak

Today, the goal of the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is remission of disease activity which should be achieved through the first 6 months of treatment with conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs and tight control principle. The treatment must be adjusted to the state of disease on each visit. In the absence of remission or low disease activity biological drugs are indicated. Tapering or withdrawal of any treatment depends on the judgment of the physician and the patient, and should be considered only after at least 6 months of stable remission.
