Hi..my doctor had told me that if its a drug induced lupus it may go after some time..or with the effects of drugs we are taking it can go by its own..or else remission can be there for many years and could be misunderstood that its gone..since how long u dont have any symptoms?

Drug Induced Lupus (DIL) is not the same as systemic lupus erythematosus. When stopping the medication that has caused DIL, the symptoms will disappear after a period of time.
