Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 In most situations with the combination of conditions you have, Scleroderma would be considered the primary disease and the one causing the others. Is that your diagnosis? If so, then typically you'd use the drugs common for scleroderma which include blood pressure medications and immune system meds such as those used for transplants (Cytoxan, Imuran, etc.). Protein pump inhibitors are often prescribed too depending on other symptoms. Colchicine is often prescribed, especially when skin nodules are present. Prednisone is also often prescribed when the lungs are involved. With PAH, Tracleer or Revatio are typically the first drugs used. You mentioned seeing Dr. Strek. What did she prescribe or suggest? > > My name is cynthia i have pf among other things PAH, Scleroderma, Raynaud's, looking to see about drugs for pul fib any stories > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
