What is Prescribing information?

The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.

Myochrysine Prescribing Information: Indications & Dosage

Gold Sodium Thiomalate is indicated in the treatment of selected cases of active rheumatoid arthritisâ€”both adult and juvenile type. The greatest benefit occurs in the early active stage. In late stages of the illness when cartilage and bone damage have occurred, gold can only check the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and prevent further structural damage to joints. It cannot repair damage caused by previously active disease.

Gold Sodium Thiomalate should be used only as one part of a complete program of therapy; alone it is not a complete treatment.
