Many patients are resistant to the use of hormones, that is, they are afraid of talking about hormones! So do we need to use hormones in the treatment of ankylosing crestitis? 1. Under what circumstances should glucocorticoids be used in the treatment of ankylosing crestitis? Glucocorticoids are generally not used as routine drugs in ankylosing spondylitis, but are only given in the following cases: 1. When the extra-articular symptoms are severe, such as acute iritis or uveitis, or when there is heart or lung damage, systemic hormones are used, and the eyes can also be given locally, with the addition of immunosuppressants, such as methotrexate, sulfuric acid, cyclosporine A, etc. 2. If you are allergic to NSAIDs, or if severe peripheral arthritis is not effective with NSAIDs, you can take small doses of oral glucocorticoids or local injections. 2.How are glucocorticoids used? Not for routine use, mainly used for: 1, acute iritis, uveitis, including eye drops, post bulb injection shot and oral, oral dose should be larger; 2, allergic to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or serious arthritis with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is not effective, can be small dose oral or local injection, but does not advocate long-term application.
