Your 44-year-old female patient hasn't had success with treating her rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate.  You could suggest her rheumatologist consider:

  1. Remicade
  2. LoSpor
  3. Sandimmune / cyclosporine
  4. Sterapred
Explanation

Answer: C − Cyclosporine is marketed as Sandimmune. Cyclosporine is most commonly known to suppress the immune system and prevent the white blood cells from rejecting a transplanted organ. However, Cyclosporine is also used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis in patients who have failed treatment with methotrexate.

Remicade is the brand name for Infliximab and prednisone is marketed as Sterapred. LoSpor is an imaginary name and doesn’t exist.
