Biosimilars are biological products used in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. They are biological products produced from pre-existing Biologics. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include joint pain, swelling and stiffness. At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more. Early treatment is important as it can make the disease more likely to go into remission. Unlike some other types of arthritis, the chronic swelling from RA can cause permanent damage to the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis treatments include disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), analgesics (painkillers) and biologics (medications produced from living organisms or components of living organisms).

Uric acid is a natural waste product that forms when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and are also produced by the body. Normally, the kidneys filter out the uric acid, and it is excreted in urine. However, in people with gout, either the body produces excessive uric acid or the kidneys are unable to remove it efficiently, resulting in high levels of uric acid in the blood.

    I was so impressed with Dr. Jamal. She spent a great deal of time with me, showing me how to do an exercise which I thought I already knew, but did not. She is a lovely person and I had no difficulty communicating with her. The only med she recommended was Tylenol.

    Very poor personality. Stereotyping patients by name. After two hours wait in the patient room with her assistant , she shows up and check me up around 5 minutes and gave me 6 pack of pain killer and sent me home without next appointment. She has no idea why I was there or what is my test results. Her assistant and her first question is why I am in Canada. I am asking you dr Jamal why you are in Canada? If your name is one of Middle East name or she is thinking this way because she is stereotyping the patients well good look with her. Being a dr is easy but being a human not easy.
