title: Do penicillamine and Myocrisin act the same way in rheumatoid arthritis?
abstract: Our observations, as well as similarities between penicillamine and Myocrisin in clinical action and side effects in RA make it not unreasonable to think that thiomalate may have a penicillamine-like effect. Only a controlled clinical trial with thiomalate in RA can provide an answer to this question.
