 Lupus Medications
Here you will find a detailed description of some of the most common treatments and medications for Systemic Lupus, along with common side-effects, precautions, and drug-interactions. This is certainly by no means a complete listing of all lupus medicines and only your personal physician knows which treatments are best for your particular symptoms. Remember, no two lupus patients are the same and we have a disease which is as individual as each of one of us. Hopefully, this section will answer the most FAQ (Frequentlty Asked Questions) about these medications.
