What Causes Lupus?
4. Medications
Medications are generally used to try to help us in terms of keeping us safe and well from diseases and other medical conditions. As the technology improves, medication becomes increasingly effective and able to treat a wider range of ailments. Unfortunately, however, some can trigger some very unwelcome side effects.
Most side effects of drugs are well-known, and the doctor should be able to give you a fair warning in advance. They can also trigger some unexpected complications, however, including lupus. The symptoms will usually clear up when the medication is stopped, but not always. Those drugs most likely to cause problems are antibiotics, antiseizure medication, and blood-pressure medication.
