[Pulse therapy with prospidin and methotrexate: comparative efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (12-month controlled study)]. 1998

B F Nemtsov, and E V Benenson, and O V Timina

Efficiency of pulse-therapy with prospidin (500 mg for 5 days in hospital, 500-1000 mg for a month as maintenance) and methotrexate (30 mg a week i.v. in hospital, 7-10 mg a week as maintenance) was investigated in 93 patients with severe RA. The response to prospidin and methotrexate arose quickly (within 10-14 and 4-5 weeks, respectively) and occurred in 73 and 70% of patients, respectively. Withdrawal of the drug was caused by side effects of methotrexate (19.3%) and resistance to prospidin (23.2%).
