Before intervention, at the end of first month and second month of consumption, we will take blood sample for the measurement of serum level of IL-1, 17 and ESR. Physical examination for calculate DAS-28 ESR will be done, too. Intervention 2: Control group: The routine DMARDs in addition to effervescent of placebo(osve pharmaceutical company ) ,twice daily for two months. Before intervention, at the end of first month and second month of consumption, we will take blood sample for the measurement of serum level of IL-1, 17 and ESR.
