Could Cosentyx be better than first thought for psoriasis

[Caroline]

That's great to read ... although I feel it will fall on deaf ears and dermatologists will still go through their list of treatments before getting to cosentyx . It would be great if new sufferers were prescribed it as soon as they were diagnosed. If it actually modifies the disease and can hold psoriasis back even when treatment ends

Yes I think it will take time. But imagine how much it could save if they gave say a years worth of Cosentyx at early onset and a patient was clear for say 5 - 10 years or even for good. Not only in treatment cost but also in lost work time and peoples social spending.

Yes, would be great savings, and a great good for the patients.

I have heard before that they were experimenting with the approach of trying to hit the disease in the beginning stadium very hard, which they have very good results with. I think I read it in a rheuma context.
But this would need you to be in an academical hospital, where they are open for those type of approaches. I fear the in the normal hospital, they will follow the old-fashioned guidelines. Just like Jim says.
