How Much Do You Know About Advanced Treatment for Ankylosing Spondylitis?

It’s common for people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) to switch disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) over the course of their treatment. For this reason, it benefits you to learn about the DMARDs on the market today. With several disease-modifying therapies — including oral medications — now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat AS, it’s worthwhile to educate yourself about all of your treatment options.

This quiz is designed to test your knowledge of ankylosing spondylitis treatments and help you decide whether it’s time to talk to your doctor about treatment options.
