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.

The physicians are in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,  Canadian Rheumatology Association and the Canadian Medical Association

    Super fake. I think he’s in a competition with his older brother, like he needs to prove something. He’s not the ’Head of Rheumatology’. Patients aren’t just a number, they’re real people. The Okanagan is a small valley. Word gets around. (Especially former staff.) I hope he doesn’t treat his wife and child(ten) with the same ignorance.

    Friendly and knowledgeable , but not understanding. He doesn't believe in the existence of fibromyalgia. He rather ask the patient, if they are suffering from socio economic or mental health problems. He actually told my daughter, she was going to be a Guinea pig. My personal impression, if you are a young person don't bother in asking him questions. He won't answer or he will let you know he is displeased, for being asked questions. He doesn't look that old but he comes accross with having very narrow views!
