A further quote to have an understand on DMARD.

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) is a category of otherwise unrelated drugs defined by their use in rheumatoid arthritis to slow down disease progression.

The term "antirheumatic" can be used in similar contexts, but without making a claim about an effect on the course.
