Hi,

Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis is based on patients condition and the level of involvement. Nsaids are given in the beginning which are followed in due course with biological dmards and steroids. Before starting any of those medicines a thorough medical workup is necessary. Since your condition is not improving with etoshine only you need to be shifted on to higher drugs for which you need to get a CBC, LFT and KFT tests done beforehand.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
