Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body. Lupus affects each patient differently. Because of that, a variety of medications are used to manage lupus, many of them "off label" or not approved by the FDA for treatment of lupus. The four drugs approved by the FDA are aspirin, hydroxychloroquine, prednisone and Benlysta (belimumab) which is give by IV infusion. Subcutaneous clinical trials are now underway for Benlysta. Off label drugs include methotrexate, azathioprine, cytoxan, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab and a variety of non steroidal anti inflammator medications.
Science has identified some genes that appear to be related to the inheritance of lupus and autoimmunity. Having these genes only predisposes the patient to the disease however, it does not mean the patient will ever get lupus.
