The Common Medicine For Lupus Disease

Here are lists of common medicine for Lupus patients. These medicines were issued by my personal doctor. By the way, this article is based from my experience.

These medicines are the daily intake after the clearing process from the doctor. It’s like a take home forever medicine.

1. HCQS – “Hydroxychloroquine” an antirheumatic medicine used to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and discoid – systematic lupus erythematosus.

It could also use treat or prevent malaria- malaria is a disease caused by mosquito bites.

However, the side effect for HCQS as my doctor reminded me of, was it will back down your eyesight. It can cause blurry (or something change in color) eyesight and worst it can cause blindness. It could also weaken the bones

2. Imuran - Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant, a drug that is used to suppress the immune system. It is used for diseases in which modifying the activity of the immune system is important.

Azathioprine is a prodrug (a precursor of a drug) which is converted in the body to its active form called mercaptopurine (Purinethol).

3. Prednisone - COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Deltasone

      GENERIC NAME(S): Prednisone

Prednisone is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, breathing problems, blood disorders, skin diseases, cancer, eye problems and immune system disorders. Prednisone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It decreases your immune system’s response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as swelling and allergic-type reactions.

These 3 medicines are the basic to intake to control Lupus disease.

Since it has side effects, the doctor gave me some vitamins and supplements to support.

1.     Calvin Plus - is used as a dietary supplement with Vitamin D and minerals.

2.     Conzace Multivitamins - is a rich source of Vitamin, A, C, E and the mineral Zinc.

3.     USANA Essentials - the combination of Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral offer a superior range of highly bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant nutrients to build a strong foundation of exceptional health.
