The treatment of patients with MCTD depends on type of internal organ involvement, phase of the disease, and rate of disease progression. Treatment strategies must follow conventional treatments that are used for similar problems in other [[Rheumatology|rheumatic]] diseases ([[systemic lupus erythematosus|SLE]], [[scleroderma]], [[polymyositis]]). Usually the treatment of patients with MCTD include low doses of [[Steroid|steroids]], [[Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug|NSAIDs]], [[Immunosuppressive drug|immunosuppressive drugs]], and [[Biology|biologic]] agents. The treatment options in [[refractory]] cases or in severe clinical conditions include [[Antibody|immunoglobulins]], [[Chemotherapy|cytotoxic agents]], and [[Biology|biologic]] drugs.

In MCTD, the medical treatment is determined based on the kind of the involved organ and intensity of the disease activity. Patients usually react to low doses of steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in combination with immunosuppressive drugs or biologic agents (monoclonal antibodies).
** Type of Internal organ involvement
 
** Phase of the disease
*Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

Overview

The treatment of patients with MCTD depends on type of internal organ involvement, phase of the disease, and rate of disease progression. Treatment strategies must follow conventional treatments that are used for similar problems in other rheumatic diseases (SLE, scleroderma, polymyositis). Usually the treatment of patients with MCTD include low doses of steroids, NSAIDs, immunosuppressive drugs, and biologic agents. The treatment options in refractory cases or in severe clinical conditions include immunoglobulins, cytotoxic agents, and biologic drugs.
