Pediatric rheumatologists may prescribe various classes of medications to treat juvenile
idiopathic arthritis. Each medication or class of medication has its own side effect profile.
Some side effects may be prevented or reduced in various ways (for example: by reducing
the dose, changing the administration schedule, or prescribing additional medication). If you
believe you/your child has side effect(s), we would suggest speaking with your pediatric
rheumatology care team about your concerns.
