The 2011 group study of 34 patients by Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière, Paris, France, found improved outcomes when high doses of methylprednisolone were given at the start of treatment. The 2012 follow-up paper ‘Best Practice – Lebeaux & Sène (under EF Guides) reinforced it: “oral corticosteroids remain the mainstay treatment and may be associated to an immunosuppressive drug such as methotrexate in patients with morphea-like lesions or an unsatisfactory response to corticosteroids alone.” Based on those findings, and those of other studies such as ‘An Analysis of 63 Patients, Brigham and Women’s Hospital’ (2016), the drugs currently recommended for most EF patients are the ones mentioned. Other drugs that have helped EF patients are on the Drugs page.
