Abstract
The first-line therapy of uveitis normally consists of topical and/or systemic corticosteroid use. To achieve long-term ocular quiescence, to prevent uveitic secondary complications, to allow corticosteroid sparing and to avoid corticosteroid-related adverse effects, the application of immunosuppressive drugs (disease modifying antirheumatic drugs; DMARDs) is often necessary during the course of the disease. This article presents a structural overview of the most important conventional synthetic DMARDs, their indication, adverse events and interdisciplinary monitoring.
