What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Ridaura Overview
Ridaura is used as part of a complete treatment program including non-drug therapies (such as rest, physical therapy) to treat active rheumatoid arthritis. Ridaura is used to treat patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded to or cannot take other medications. Auranofin is a gold compound. Auranofin is not a true pain reliever (such as like aspirin) but it is thought to decrease pain that occurs with arthritis by decreasing inflammation. It is known as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). It decreases morning stiffness and pain/swelling in joints and can increase grip strength.
Ridaura Warnings
Ridaura can cause serious (sometimes fatal) side effects, including diarrhea that doesn't go away, blood cell problems (such as anemia, low white blood cells/platelets), kidney problems, rash, itching, or mouth sores/irritation (stomatitis). Low white blood cells can increase your risk of infection. See Side Effects section for more details. Tell your doctor right away if you develop any of these side effects. Your doctor will be closely monitoring certain lab tests (such as white blood cells, platelets) before you start taking Ridaura and while you are taking it.
