Are the medications I'm taking the right

2025-01-10 07:00:25
I have rheumatoid arthritis and in recent tests my R.A factor is 80 times more than the normal range it shows result -80 IU/ml and the normal range is 10 IU/ml so I have been said to take deflazacort tablets 6mg and OA king tablets. But I am having doubts about the medications as one has steroids in it and the doctor I consulted was not a rheumatologist...should I consult another doctor or keep taking these medicines .what medications should I take if not these for the time being as I am even having problems in walking.
