What medicines are used for treating of sarcoidosis?
The most commonly used drugs are corticosteroids (cortisone, prednisone, methylprednisolone). Many physicians use chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine (used in the treatment of malaria) and immunosuppressive drugs (methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil). Many of these drugs are not approved by the FDA in the treatment of sarcoidosis.
