Best Treatments for Lupus in 2025: What Doctors Recommend
This article distills what rheumatologists recommend in 2025 for managing lupus, from time‑tested essentials like hydroxychloroquine and short courses of low‑dose steroids to steroid‑sparing immunosuppressants (mycophenolate, azathioprine, methotrexate), newer biologics (belimumab, anifrolumab), and kidney‑targeted options for lupus nephritis (mycophenolate, voclosporin).
