Sjögren's Syndrome
Treatments
Treatment for Sjögren's syndrome focuses on alleviating its symptoms, often with over-the-counter and prescription medications. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), preservative-free artificial tears, artificial saliva, unscented skin lotions, saline nasal sprays and vaginal lubricants as well as immunosuppressive medications.
For some patients, exercise helps reduce joint pain and build physical stamina.
Currently, there's no cure for the condition.
