Steroids remain the first-choice therapeutic in sarcoidosis; however, long-term use is associated with toxicity. Evidence defining the best second-line therapeutic is currently lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of methotrexate and azathioprine on prednisone tapering, pulmonary function, and side effects in the second-line treatment of sarcoidosis.status: publishe
