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.

    We were referred to Dr. Carruthers by our family doctor who had read about her specialty. My wife who is 68, has spent much of her adult life seeking help for her arthritis. From the start we noticed the business-like process Dr. Carruthers went through to garner the information she needed to help my wife. Extensive tests showed some good news; no Lupus was evident as had been previously diagnosed but definite confirmation of the extent of the Rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Carruthers has included me in this process as I am driving my wife into Vancouver from Langley, so I'm always in the office with her. We are very pleased to have 'found' Dr. Carruthers and now have a treatment plan that we are hoping will provide some relief. Either way, we feel comfortable in giving Dr. Carruthers 5 stars in all categories for her attention, knowledge, professionalism and caring approach to my wife.
