Treatment of Sarcoidosis

Corticosteroids. These powerful anti-inflammatory drugs are usually the first-line treatment for sarcoidosis.  Medications that suppress the immune system. There's no cure for sarcoidosis, but in many cases, it goes away on its own. You may not even need treatment if you have no symptoms or only mild symptoms of the condition. The severity and extent of your condition will determine whether and what type of treatment is needed. Organ transplant may be considered if sarcoidosis has severely damaged your lungs, heart or liver. Treatment of patients with stage II or III sarcoidosis with oral steroids for six to 24 months improves chest radiograph findings during therapy. For pulmonary sarcoidosis, the initiation dosage is 20 to 40 mg per day of prednisone or its equivalent for one to three months.
