Can you treat sjogrens syndrome?

Yes, depends: The chronic condition is difficult to treat but may respond to topical eye and mouth treatments. In rare cases biological agents such as humera are prescribed to treat this.

There is no cure: Hydroxychloroquine is a drug of choice to ameliorate the symptoms of this autoimmune disorder. See a Rheumatologist, they have primary responsibility for managing Sjögren’s. Take care.
