Tuberous sclerosis is managed effectively using a combination of medications and therapies tailored to your symptoms. Main treatment options include: mTOR inhibitors: Medications like everolimus or sirolimus help shrink tumours in organs like the brain, kidneys, and lungs. Topical sirolimus can treat skin spots. Antiseizure medicines: Drugs like vigabatrin or other anticonvulsants help control seizures. Surgery: If tumours cause complications, they can often be safely removed. Supportive therapies: Occupational, behavioural, or speech therapies help manage developmental milestones. Regular monitoring with your healthcare team ensures a personalised, highly effective plan to support a healthy, active life.
