What new treatments are available for sarcoidosis patients?
Some people with sarcoidosis will not require any treatment at all. However, estimates suggest that in up to 30 percent of people, the disease lasts a long time or a lifetime. It can also worsen over time. Corticosteroid medications are still considered the first line of treatment for sarcoidosis that requires treatment. Corticosteroids are also called glucocorticoids or steroids, and there are many different medicines within the corticosteroid class of drugs, including cortisone, prednisone, and prednisolone.
