We will wait for your blood report. There are no specific medications that treat myositis. However, corticosteroids such as prednisone (Rayos) are often prescribed. Doctors often prescribe this drug with immunosuppressant drugs such as azathioprine (Azasan) and methotrexate (Trexall). Due to the nature of this disease, it may take several changes in your therapy for a doctor to find the right treatment plan for you. Work with your doctor until the best course of action is achieved. Physical therapy, exercise, stretching, and yoga can help keep muscles strong and flexible and prevent muscle atrophy.
