Alternative Therapy Sparks Hope for Patients with Lupus
Could this be an alternative for managing symptoms?
According to the team of researchers, Rituxan “could be considered as a possible alternative to standard of care in the management of severe inflammatory neuropsychiatric SLE, but it should be associated with a conventional immunosuppressant as maintenance treatment to reduce the risk of flare and reduce corticosteroids dose.”
This would be an exciting step in research if it is put to action soon, and it will certainly give lupus patients suffering from its severe symptoms some light at the end of the tunnel. For those who do not respond well to conventional treatments, or even for those who want a better way to manage their symptoms of SLE, this could definitely be a great alternative in the future.
