Frequently Asked Questions About Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)

Lupus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease where the immune system produces antibodies that attack the body's own tissues. It can affect virtually every organ system and follows an unpredictable course of flares and remissions. About 1.5 million Americans live with lupus.

FDA-approved biologics specifically for lupus include Benlysta (Belimumab), which targets BAFF (B-cell activating factor), and Saphnelo (Anifrolumab), which blocks type I interferon receptors. Some patients with lupus nephritis also receive Benlysta IV. Your rheumatologist will determine appropriate treatment based on organ involvement and disease severity.

Cash prices vary. With insurance and manufacturer savings programs, most patients pay reduced amounts. BiologicHealthPlus helps verify your insurance and enroll you in available savings programs.
