Hi Musfiq ,

If your wife has been diagnosed with lupus, there is currently no cure for this disease although it can often be managed with treatment. Antibiotics are not a treatment for lupus, although they may sometimes be needed if she does get an infection.

You can read more about the treatments for lupus in our factsheet here - lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Please take caution with any complementary therapies or 'natural remedies' because many of these can potentially have adverse effects on lupus or other overlapping conditions. They can also potentially interact with other treatments she may be on. It is always best to discuss these with a doctor before starting them.
