U're right asmi .  Just that there are few more
:arrow: abrupt onset rather than slow
:arrow: very low incidence of renal /CNS involvement
:arrow: absent anti dsDNA/anti Sm antibodies
:arrow: Normal complement level
:arrow: elevated antihistone antibodies
and last but not the least the best thing would be to Discontinue the drug
