Do penicillamine and Myocrisin act the same way in rheumatoid arthritis?
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.
