Stem cell therapy is a potential treatment option for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It involves using stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissue in the body. However, it is important to note that the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy for RA is still being researched and it is not yet a widely accepted treatment option. As for your concerns with the medications you are taking for RA, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. They can help weigh the potential benefits and risks of continuing with the medication versus exploring alternative treatment options. There are various other treatment options available for RA, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologic agents. Your doctor can help you determine which treatment option is best suited for your specific case based on your medical history, current condition, and other factors.

You can opt for biological agents instead of DMARDS that you are using.. The dosage and number of times it needs to be taken is also easye.. You need to understand that all treatments have some side effects..

Also consult a rheumatologist before taking decision to opt for that.
