Clinical Pharmacology and Autoimmune Disease Medications

Every autoimmune disease treatment has positives and negatives. Sometimes, a therapy may effectively control your disease symptoms but cause debilitating side effects. We can help.

At the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Autoimmunity Institute, our clinical pharmacology program offers you the most effective treatment with the least negative impact. Our 15 different types of specialists will work together to help you improve your quality of life.

Specialized clinical pharmacological care for autoimmune diseases

Managing treatment side effects shouldn’t feel like your full-time job — instead, we make it ours. At our institute, our team includes clinical pharmacologists with extensive training in how medications, such as immunosuppressants, affect the body. They work closely with our other specialists to find the best medication and dosage for you. This includes coming up with ways to minimize any unpleasant side effects you may face.

Before recommending a new treatment, our specialists will sit down with you to explain the potential side effects and any long-term health implications. We will partner with you now and in the months and years to come to monitor how you react to certain therapies. This attention will help you improve your overall health with the least possible downsides from treatments.
