Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), chloroquine (Aralen), and quinacrine (Atabrine) are medications that were originally used to prevent or treat malaria. However, during World War II it was also found that these medications were effective in treating the symptoms of lupus.
Corticosteroids prescribed for autoimmune diseases are different from the anabolic steroids that weightlifters and other athletes sometimes take to increase strength. Steroid medications work quickly to decrease the swelling, warmth, tenderness and pain that are associated with inflammation.rednisone is the most commonly prescribed steroid for lupus. Prednisolone and methylprednisolone (MedrolÂ®) are similar to prednisone. Some physicians prefer to prescribe these if you have liver problems. Most people take steroids in pill form, but topical creams or gels are often used for cutaneous (skin) lupus.
