9 Common Things That Can Trigger Lupus

Medications

If you’re not careful, your medication may come with some very unintended side effects—namely, lupus flares. Medical News Today advises lupus patients to avoid sulfa-based antibiotics, such as Bactrim and Septra, as well as sleeping aids like melatonin and Rozerem. Dr. Koumpouras also cautions against taking antibiotics used to control acne, such as minocycline, if you have lupus.
