Hello,

You have systemic sclerosis. Treatment depends on your symptoms. Calcium channel blockers and tadalafil are useful in the Raynaud phenomenon. Patients with kidney involvement ACE inhibitors are useful. Patients with gastric involvement omeprazole should be given. For lung involvement calcium channel blocker is useful. Please tell me about your symptoms so that I can help you further to select the drugs.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hardik Sanghvi
