Ridaura Coupons & Cost Discounts
This medication is used as part of a complete treatment program including non-drug therapies (such as rest, physical therapy) to treat active rheumatoid arthritis. It is used to treat patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded to or cannot take other medications. Auranofin is a gold compound. Auranofin is not a true pain reliever (such as like aspirin) but it is thought to decrease pain that occurs with arthritis by decreasing inflammation. It is known as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). It decreases morning stiffness and pain/swelling in joints and can increase grip strength.

Warnings
This medication can cause serious (sometimes fatal) side effects, including diarrhea that doesn't go away, blood cell problems (such as anemia, low white blood cells/platelets), kidney problems, rash, itching, or mouth sores/irritation (stomatitis). Low white blood cells can increase your risk of infection. See Side Effects section for more details. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of these side effects. Your doctor will be closely monitoring certain lab tests (such as white blood cells, platelets) before you start taking this medication and while you are taking it. It is important that you keep all medical/lab appointments.
Side Effects
Diarrhea, frequent/loose stools, stomach/abdominal cramping, nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn, and headache may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: eye redness/pain, hair loss, numbness/tingling of arms/legs, signs of low blood count (such as fast/pounding heartbeat, pale skin, unusual tiredness), easy bleeding/bruising, black/bloody stools, cough that doesn't go away, mucus/pus/blood in watery diarrhea, dizziness, signs of infection (such as sore throat that doesn't go away, fever), severe stomach/abdominal pain, change in the amount/color of urine, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, yellowing eyes/skin.

Rinsing your mouth with a mild salt solution may provide some relief. Discuss with your doctor. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), rash, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
