 Hi, I am Dr. Yogesh Singh. I work as a consultant dermatologist at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Lupus needs long-term treatment. The treatment of lupus depends on the organ system involvement and also on severity of the disease. Though there is no cure for lupus with current treatment options, it is possible to have excellent control of the symptoms, excellent control of the disease, allowing patients with lupus to lead a normal or near-normal life. The medications for lupus include analgesics or painkillers in common language, glucocorticoids or steroids in common language, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, microfenylate mofetil, isothioprine, cyclosporine, tachyrolemus, rituximab, cyclophosphamide.
