Psoriasis - Medications

(continued)

continued...

People respond differently to psoriasis treatments. A treatment that worked one time may not work again. A treatment that didn't work the first time may work when tried again later.

Some medicines used to treat psoriasis can cause serious side effects. You and your doctor will discuss how long to use treatments that could cause harm. You will also need to see your doctor regularly and may have blood tests while using some medicines.

Many oral or injected medicines used to treat psoriasis are not safe during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor before taking any medicines.

Researchers are studying other medicines for their safety and effectiveness in treating psoriasis. These include medicines that affect the immune system and medicines used to treat cancer.
