Guide To Treating Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

Antimalarial Medication

Antimalarial medication is used for many different reasons, including as a standard protocol for autoimmune diseases. It can also be used to manage flare-ups in patients with mixed connective tissue disease and is helpful in situations where different symptoms present themselves. Antimalarial drugs are usually best suited for mild cases of mixed connective tissue disease and less effective in more severe cases.

It is important for patients to let their doctor know when they experience flare-ups and what has successfully worked in the past. Even though medications cannot cure the disease, they can help manage it so patients can continue on in their lives with some degree of relief.
