Learn more about the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by using first-line medication, methotrexate (MTX), optimally. Experts in their respective fields share their knowledge to help you to improve patient care.

Topics covered include:

  • Retrospective data on the optimised RA therapy initiation strategy regarding doses and application routes.
  • Basic information on the use of MTX in RA treatment, including the subcutaneous route and data from recent publications.
  • The multidisciplinary approach for management of JIA.
  • The challenges of PsA diagnosis and therapy and how dermatological-rheumatological cooperation can be achieved to help improve patient care.
