Medications in Scleroderma- Jessica Farrell, PharmD.- 2019 National Education Conference

Current Medications used to treat patients with scleroderma focus on the four main features of the disease and tissue fibrosis. Because there are multiple sub-types and different clinical presentations of scleroderma, medication regimens vary greatly form patient to patient. This presentation reviews common medications prescribed in scleroderma and includes a description of how the medication works, common side effects, and monitoring . Additionally, medications to avoid that can worsen symptoms of scleroderma will be discussed.

I have systemic scleroderma it's very painful, the pain is so depressing sometimes I just wish I didn't wake up in the morning.

If its a good med, its not approved. Makes you wonder exactly how much these medical people care.
