ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Methotrexate is probably slightly more efficacious than mycophenolate in achieving control of inflammation, including steroid-sparing control (moderate-certainty evidence), although there was insufficient evidence to prefer one medication over the other in the VKH subgroup (very low-certainty evidence)."5.22Non-biologic, steroid-sparing therapies for non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in adults.
