BENLYSTA® Treatment
What is BENLYSTA®?
A Targeted Treatment for Lupus and Lupus Nephritis
BENLYSTA® is a targeted biologic treatment specifically approved for adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) who are receiving standard therapy for lupus. As part of VIP Rheumatology’s comprehensive care approach, BENLYSTA® provides an FDA-approved treatment that works by targeting B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), a specific protein that contributes to the survival of B cells, which play a key role in lupus disease activity.
With BENLYSTA®, most patients experience significant benefits:
- Reduced disease activity across different parts of the body, including improvements to muscles, joints, and skin
- Fewer lupus flares, allowing you to focus on what matters most in your life
- Reduces fatigue
- Reduces the risk of end-organ damage
One remarkable feature of BENLYSTA® is its targeted approach to treating lupus by specifically addressing a key pathway in the immune system related to lupus activity. By targeting the BLyS protein, BENLYSTA® offers a more focused approach to managing lupus. Many patients experience noticeable improvements in symptoms over time, with results that continue to improve with ongoing treatment.
