Biological disease-modifying drugs (DMARDb) have revolutionized the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in recent years. Studies demonstrate 30% to 50% effectiveness and good tolerance, the main adverse events being infectious symptoms and irritation at the application site (intravenous and subcutaneous parenteral medications.
