title: Pharmacologic treatment of psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis with traditional biologic and non-biologic DMARDs.
abstract: This manuscript focuses on the pharmacologic treatment of psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis - including ankylosing spondylitis - using traditional biologic and non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Early treatment of psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis/ankylosing spondylitis as well as the treat-to-target concept receive particular attention. This review also surveys recent national and international guidelines for the treatment of both psoriatic arthritis and couches practice recommendations for axial spondyloarthritis/ankylosing spondylitis within the context of various international guidelines.
