Better pharmacy support to help people take arthritis medications

This trial is testing whether a coordinated team approach — where a pharmacist and doctor work together — can help people with rheumatoid arthritis stick to their medications. You'll receive extra support both in the hospital and after you go home, including help understanding your medications and motivation to take them consistently. The goal is to see if this kind of teamwork leads to better medication adherence and better health outcomes.

Many people with rheumatoid arthritis struggle to take their medications as prescribed, which can lead to worse disease symptoms and complications. Researchers want to know whether having a pharmacist involved in your care — from the hospital through your recovery at home — can make it easier to stay on track with this medication.
