Fortunately, many patients with sarcoidosis require not treatment. Symptoms, after all, are usually not disabling and do tend to disappear spontaneously. When therapy is recommended, the main goal is to keep the lungs and other affected body organs working and to relieve symptoms. The disease is considered inactive once the symptoms fade. After many years of experience with treating the disease, corticosteroid remain the primary treatment for inflammation and granuloma formation.
Prednisone is probably the corticosteroid most often prescribed today.
There is no treatment at present to reverse the fibrosis that might be present in advanced sarcoidosis. If you have sarcoidosis, you can help yourself by following sensible health measures. You should not smoke. You should also avoid exposure to other substances such as dusts and chemicals that can harm your lungs. See your doctor regularly so that the illness can be watched and, if necessary, treated.
