For ankylosing spondylitis (AS), if NSAIDs do not relieve symptoms, doctors may prescribe disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The first DMARD often prescribed is a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitor. Some of these include:

- Etanercept (Enbrel)
- Adalimumab (Humira)
- Infliximab (Remicade)

- Infliximab (Remicade)
- Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia)
