FREE FATTY ACIDS FOR TREATMENT OF PROPHYLAXIS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

摘要

Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in free acid form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis. The free fatty acids (or salts) were an order of magnitude more effective in treating arthritis than the same amount of EPA and DHA in their triglyceride form.
