psoriasis drug

The psoriasis care is primarily use local treatments: medicines are prescribed for more severe symptoms.
Psoriasis is a skin disease which is poorly known causes, but that is manifested by symptoms whose severity varies from one case to another.
This chronic disease can not be cured, but can be mitigated by many treatments:
Local: cream, shampoo, care,
drugs,
phototherapy, etc.
Psoriasis Medication: for severe forms

Drugs acting systemically, that is to say on the whole organism, unlike local treatments.
They are reserved for severe forms of psoriasis:
forms very extensive with a high severity score,
resistant forms of topical treatments and phototherapy,
generalized forms as erythrodermic psoriasis or pustular psoriasis.
Drugs used against psoriasis are powerful drugs with potentially serious side effects.
They are therefore used for the shortest time and least frequently.


3 main types of medication for severe psoriasis

Several types of molecules and systemic treatments are used against psoriasis:
retinoids (acitretin)
immunosuppressants (methotrexate, cyclosporine)
biotherapies also called anti-TNF alpha.
