Brief Answer:
Hi you can continue

Detailed Answer:
hi
hi you can continue the medication however since these medications are antiarthritic medicines you should check your blood at least every 3 months the blood tests are complete blood count liver function test kidney function test and blood sugar if these reports are fine medicines can be continued however it is a good idea to see your doctor at least every 6 months in order to make sure that you need to take so many medicines if her condition is better then probably he will reduce the medicine to as much as she can tolerate hope I am clear thank you
