HCQ is safe and easy - can you use it in pre-clinical RA to prevent disease?
NO EVIDENCE of decreased progression of RA in HCQ compared to placebo https://t.co/1OSVubd9rO

Treatment with MTX in early CCP+ RA thought to be effective in slowing disease however StopRA study did not show a difference between HCQ and PBO in patients. We need to know more about HCQ vs MTX in this space! #RNL2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/7asmvVfXiC

How do you prevent RA in at-risk patient?
Smoking cessation! Healthy weight and exercise! Diet! Periodontal health! 🚭🏋️🥕🦷
Education & follow-up!
Not robustly proven to prevent/delay RA, but may be more important than early DMARD intervention!
