What are the medications used to treat vasculitis?

Vasculitis is commonly treated with glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone), immunologic agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide), and rituximab. Vasculitis is a group of inflammatory autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of the blood vessel wall. Clinical manifestations mainly include weakness, fever, joint or muscle pain and other systemic symptoms, skin rash, headache, dizziness and other neurological symptoms. The treatment principle of vasculitis is early diagnosis and early treatment. Its basic medicine is glucocorticoid (such as prednisone), and immunosuppressant (such as cyclophosphamide, etc.) should also be added in time. In addition, the addition of rituximab can also be considered, and its therapeutic effect is also better. The above medications should be administered under the guidance of a specialized doctor. Patients with vasculitis are advised to go to the hospital in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, and do not use medication on their own.
