Is uveitis flareup occurs due to tapering of deflazacort-1mg (tapering from one year gradually)am arthritis patient taking sulfasalazine and lefno20mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It may be due to tapering this med below its minimally effective dose or it just flared for no particular reason. Why are you taking the other med? Do you have hla-b27 associated disease? If so consider a tnf agent to treat all of your issues.
