Yes sir she has to continue medicines.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that she has to take medicines because rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured , it can only be controlled . So , medicine needs to be continued life long in most of the cases although dose can be decreased if symptoms become less , that is on your treating doctors discretion.
Take care.
