Treatment Options
As lupus cannot be cured, most treatments focus on reducing flare-ups and improving quality of life. Your healthcare provider will often encourage lifestyle changes in conjunction with medications and other treatments. For those diagnosed with lupus, staying out of the sun and eating a healthy diet can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Medications used to treat lupus usually include antimalarials, immunosuppressants, NSAIDs, and steroids as they help reduce inflammation and decrease the body’s immune response. However, if you are not responsive to traditional oral medications, your doctor may recommend a biological infusion for your lupus.

What is Lupus?
DISEASE OVERVIEW
Lupus is one of the most widely diagnosed autoimmune diseases in the country, as its symptoms are sporadic and vary greatly from patient to patient.
Lupus affects the skin, joints, heart, kidneys, and a variety of other internal organs. If you are not currently experiencing a flare when seeking a diagnosis, you may appear perfectly fine to a healthcare provider. Conversely, lupus can also be mistaken for other illnesses due to the various body systems it affects.
