Lupus Erythematous What medicine to take best

There are many kinds of drugs for systemic lupus erythematosus. No drug is the best, only the most suitable drug for the patient. Lupus is divided into mild, moderate and severe according to the severity of the disease. For mild patients, the treatment is generally to choose NSAIDs or hydroxychloroquine for symptomatic treatment. For patients with moderate to severe disease activity, the first choice of drugs is normally the commonly used prednisone and methylprednisolone. The dosage is generally different according to the number of organs affected by the patient. For example, the small dose is generally less than 15 mg per day, the medium dose is about 30 mg per day, and the large dose is generally 60 mg per day. It is gradually reduced according to the severity of the patient's disease. In addition, there are some immunosuppressants commonly used, such as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, according to the patient's age, fertility, with or without complications, to choose different drugs.
