Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune medical condition characterized by protean clinical manifestations, multisystem inflammation (MIS), and a relapsing and remitting course (RRMS). It affects numerous parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and brain. It is generally caused due to various genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. Its symptoms include fatigue, joint pain and swelling, headache, rashes, hair loss, anemia, blood clotting, and fever. SLE is diagnosed by a healthcare provider using symptom assessments, physical examinations, chest X-rays, urinalysis, and blood tests. Its symptoms can be eased using anti-inflammatory drugs for joint pain and stiffness, steroid creams for rashes, corticosteroids to minimize the immune response, and antimalarial drugs for skin problems. It also uses disease-modifying drugs and targeted immune system agents for more severe cases. Besides this, it is treated using various immunosuppressive drugs that inhibit the activity of the immune system.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Drugs Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases among individuals and the rising number of patients suffering from SLE represents one of the major factors driving the demand for SLE drugs around the world. Moreover, the rising number of research and diagnostics institutes are undertaking measures and introducing public awareness campaigns to educate individuals about SLE and its possible treatments. In addition, governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of numerous countries are investing in various programs to develop novel therapeutics and identify relevant drug targets for the treatment of SLE. This, coupled with the increasing financing to improve healthcare infrastructure and diagnostic technologies worldwide, is impelling the market growth. Apart from this, the easy availability of various generic drugs for relieving pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with SLE through offline and online retail channels is favoring the market growth. They generally involve over the counter (OTC) and prescription-based nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen, celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Voltaren), diflunisal (Dolobid), and piroxicam (Feldene). Furthermore, the increasing use of Hydroxychloroquine drugs is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the growing awareness among individuals and healthcare professionals about the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment of SLE is influencing the overall sales of SLE drugs.
