Abstract

A comparative pharmacoeconomic analysis of different strategies of monotherapy using genetically engineered biological drugs for adult patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and intolerance or inconvenience of continuation of therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs was performed. It was revealed that the drug tocilizumab has clinical and economic advantages, which are expressed in terms of a preferable cost-effectiveness.
