There is no such thing as what medication is good for dryness and desiccation syndrome. The medication for dryness and desiccation syndrome should be chosen according to the disease activity and organ involvement, and commonly used are hydroxychloroquine, prednisone and so on. Dry syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly involves exocrine glands. If only the exocrine glands are involved, manifesting as dry mouth and dry eyes, the use of artificial tears, artificial saliva and other symptomatic can be considered, as well as stimulate the secretion of the glands of the hairy fruit rutaecarpine and so on. If there is involvement of the skin and joints, manifested by rash, joint swelling and pain, consider using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. If there is organ involvement, such as interstitial lung disease, hematopenia, renal neurological involvement, etc., the use of glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone, immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide, or even biologics such as rituximab should be considered. The above medications should be used according to the doctor’s instructions. If you are suffering from dry syndrome, you should consult the rheumatology and immunology department of the hospital for a comprehensive assessment of your condition and then formulate a treatment plan under the guidance of your doctor.
