A pharmaceutical composition containing an anti-human Fas antibody having apoptosis inducing activity and a compound having a folate antagonist activity or a dihydrofolate reductase inhibiting activity, as active ingredients for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of an autoimmune disease or rheumatoid arthritis. According to the present invention, the amount of the anti-Fas antibody to be used can be reduced and thereby the possibility that a patient may become tolerant to anti-Fas antibody as a result of the production of antibodies against the anti-Fas antibody in the patient's body or the like can be decreased, and thus is provided a pharmaceutical composition which can be used for a long time.
