Best Dermatomyositis Treatment in Trivandrum | IRIS Clinics
Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases
IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers expert care for Dermatomyositis, focusing on early diagnosis and tailored treatments with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy to manage muscle weakness, skin symptoms, and prevent disease progression.
Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition that leads to muscle weakness and skin rashes. Patients may also experience muscle pain, fever, and, in some cases, heart or lung involvement. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of blood tests, electromyography, and muscle biopsy.
Our Services
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are commonly used to treat autoimmune conditions like Dermatomyositis. They work by reducing inflammation, alleviating muscle weakness, and controlling skin rashes. Although effective in managing symptoms, long-term use may require careful monitoring due to potential side effects like weight gain, osteoporosis, and increased infection risk.
Immunosuppressive Therapy
Immunosuppressive therapy involves medications like methotrexate or azathioprine to suppress the immune system in autoimmune diseases like Dermatomyositis. By reducing immune activity, these drugs help prevent further muscle damage and inflammation. While effective in controlling symptoms, they require regular monitoring to avoid infections and other potential side effects.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is essential in managing Dermatomyositis, helping to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and overall mobility. Tailored exercise programs focus on restoring function, reducing stiffness, and preventing muscle atrophy. Regular sessions enhance quality of life, promote independence, and aid in managing symptoms, complementing other treatments like corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy.
