Your rheumatologist

Chances are you’re already working with a doctor who specializes in rheumatology. He or she will closely monitor your progress, and adjust your treatment from time to time to make sure you’re getting the best care possible.

Your physician assistant

You will find physician assistants working in many areas of the doctor’s office. In training and in practice, their responsibilities lie between the nurse and doctor, performing the functions of both to some degree.

Your primary care doctor

Your primary care doctor, or general practitioner, is vital to providing you with help and advice above and beyond your RA.

YOUR NURSE

Nurses are a great resource and can provide assistance as you manage your RA.

Your KevzaraConnect® Nurse Educator

Your KevzaraConnect Nurse Educator will help answer your questions about KEVZARA, help you remember when to take your treatment, and share practical tips on living with RA.

Your pharmacist

Pharmacists prepare prescription medications and offer expertise in the safe use of those prescriptions. They also may conduct health and wellness screenings, provide immunizations, oversee the medications given to patients, and provide advice on healthy lifestyles.

A nutritionist or registered dietitian

Dietitians and nutritionists are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage disease. They advise people on what to eat in order to lead a healthy lifestyle or achieve a specific health-related goal.

An exercise coach

An exercise pro can help you develop fitness and exercise programs to help improve your cardiovascular function, body composition, and flexibility.

And, of course, your friends and family

Your friends and family can also play an important role with your RA. They can:

Help schedule activities that you can enjoy together
Be there for you, so you have someone to talk to
Go with you to the doctor and help you ask the right questions
Help celebrate every victory, large and small
