What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Lupus?

I have read that the drug Dyazide can increase the symptons of patients with lupus. I have lupus and have been taking this drug for 15 years. At the same time I have been having a hard time keeping my lupus under control Is it possible that this drug is part of my problem? Thank you.

Hello. Dyazide can cause cutaneous lupus but not SLE.
That said, if the SLE is affecting kidney function, the Dyazide could worsen that problem
