Before I was diagnosed with lupus, one of the high blood pressure medications I took briefly is said to cause "drug-induced lupus". Drug induced lupus is supposed to go away when the drug is discontinued. I don’t know what "the list" includes, but yes, some drugs can induce at least a temporay lupus. debbie mason debma…@rkymtnhi.com
