Abstract		Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are common and diverse multifactorial chronic diseases, which often affect the patient's quality of life. No etiological treatment exists. In the contemporary multidisciplinary approach, non-pharmacological, pharmacological and surgical interventions play equally important roles. The goals are to reduce symptoms and disability and preserve the quality of life. Universal, evidence based guidelines do not exist. We attempted to present various options for pharmacological interventions in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Summary		Revmatoidni artritis in osteoartroza sta raznoliki in večvzročni kronični bolezni, ki pogosto zmanjšujeta kakovost življenja. Vzročnega zdravljenja ne poznamo. Sodoben pristop k zdravljenju je multidisciplinaren in enakovredno vključuje nefarmakološke, farmakološke in kirurške ukrepe. Cilji zdravljenja so zmanjševanje simptomov in oviranosti ter ohranjanje kakovosti življenja. Obča, z dokazi podprta priporočila ne obstajajo. V prispevku smo želeli pregledno predstaviti možnosti, ki jih nudi sodobno farmakološko zdravljenje revmatoidnega artritisa in osteoartroze.
