Most people with Wegener’s granulomatosis can be treated. But the drugs used to treat this condition could have side effects of their own. Be sure to talk about these side effects with your health care provider. These are common medications used in treatment:

Antibiotics
Certain infections are more common among people with this condition. Antibiotics may be given to treat or prevent infection.
Wegener’s granulomatosis may come back even after successful treatment. Continue to follow up with your health care provider, even when you are in remission.

Corticosteroid
This is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation. Long-term steroid use can affect your bone health, so your health care provider may also watch and treat changes in your bone density.

Cyclophosphamide
-- This drug may be given to keep symptoms in remission for one to two years. You may need to take folic acid supplements with this drug.
-- This is an alternative to methotrexate.
-- This medication may be given in combination with prednisone to treat Wegener’s granulomatosis and bring about remission.
