Sjogren's Syndrome Treatment
Sjogren's syndrome is a disorder of your immune system identified by its two most common symptoms which are dry eyes and a dry mouth. The condition often accompanies other immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Although you can develop Sjogren's syndrome at any age, most people are older than 40 at the time of diagnosis. It can be difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms vary from person to person and can be similar to those caused by other diseases.

In Sjogren's syndrome, your immune system first targets the glands that make tears and saliva. To manage the condition, the focus is on alleviating dryness and systemic symptoms. Relief is provided for dry eyes and mouth through artificial tears, saliva substitutes, and moisture-retaining products. Immunosuppressive medications help control inflammation and slow disease progression. The most common symptom is chronic, unusual dryness in your eyes, mouth or vagina.
