Statins and ARBs on Rheumatoid Activity

This study is investigating whether two types of widely used medications can help reduce inflammation and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis — a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and long-term joint damage. Statins are drugs most commonly used to lower cholesterol, but they also have anti-inflammatory effects that may benefit joints. ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) are blood pressure medications that may also help calm overactive immune responses. Researchers want to find out whether adding these medications to standard rheumatoid arthritis treatment leads to measurable improvements in inflammation markers and patient symptoms. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis - You are willing to participate and follow the study protocol **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant or currently breastfeeding - You have significant liver problems that would affect how your body processes these medications - You have significant kidney (renal) problems Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
