Diagnosis: Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis COPD
Drug therapy: Prednisolone 10mgs dailyWarfarinFrusemide 80mgs dailyCitalopram 40mgs dailyZopiclone 7.5mgs nocteCalcichew D3 2 dailyRamipril 5mgs dailyDiazepam 2mgs bdUniphyllin 300mgs bdAspirin 75mgs dailyRisedronate 35mgs weeklyNicorandil 10mgs half tablet bdEyedropsNebuliser/Inhalers
I reviewed this lady in clinic today. I understand that she had to increase her Prednisolone recently for a few days to 20mgsas she had a chest infection. She is now back down to 10mgs daily. She is limited mainly by her COPD as she gets veryshort of breath when she tries to walk. On examination the synovial proliferation of her right wrist and small joints of herhands had settled. I have advised her from the point of view of her joints we can now gradually reduce her steroids. Iwould suggest when she is stabilised from her chest point of view following her infection that she could try a reduction downto 10 and 7.5mgs Prednisolone on alternate days for two months and could then reduce down to 7.5mgs daily if she has noproblems with that reduction and if her chest allows this. Blood pressure in clinic today was 118/74. Urinalysis showed atrace of blood. She informed me that she had a blood test taken yesterday. Rheumatology review: Six months
