Our treatment

These are the most used medications for myositis:

1. Corticosteroids, also called adrenal cortical steroids, glucocorticoids, or simply steroids, include medications such as prednisone, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, and others. Acthar is a synthetic form of the hormone ACTH and is also used to treat myositis diseases.
2. Immunosuppressants are drugs that inhibit or prevent activity of the immune system. Immunosuppressants used in treating myositis include methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, cyclophosphamide, and hydroxychloroquine.
3. Immunoglobulin is a blood product derived from large pools of donated human plasma that contains the part of the blood that contains antibodies.

Most of them are not approved for myositis by the FDA. However, their use for treating myositis is based on research, including small clinical trials, expert experience, and individual reports in the literature of effectiveness in myositis.
