Lupus is treated by a range of medications:

  • Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs or pain medications are generally used for patients of SLE with arthritis.

  • Steroids

Steroids can be used in low doses for arthritis in SLE. You may also need to take steroids in higher doses if lupus is affecting your internal organs.

  • Immunosuppressants

For serious cases of lupus, immunosuppressive drugs may be effective including azathioprine,  mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate,  cyclosporine & Cyclophosphamide.

  • Biologics

Biological treatment in form of Rituximab and Belimumab(not available in India) is also available and may be used by rheumatologists whenever needed.

Consult your doctor before taking any treatments.

Due to the fact lupus may be having different presentations at different times, you should visit your rheumatologist regularly.
