Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am also affected by plaque psoriasis, and methotrexate is my treatment med.
your feedback is giving me new hope because methotrexate is not proving useful much.
Please keep updating us.
hope I will get this med in Pakistan soon.
can you aslo inform how much per dose it cost you if dont mind.thanks
Hi Fragil3
I found the annual cost in America is around $58,000 ....but most of that is covered by insurance
Hopefully there will be something approved in Asia / Pakistan that is a biosimilar that might be affordable
How does your Heath service work? Do you have to pay for your drugs , do you have insurance ....or will the state pay some
Hopefully aecrawford will know the cost in Texas and can help you more

Actual cost I am not sure of, Janssen put me on a program since my insurance initially denied the medicine that covers the entire cost of the medicine 100% for 1 year. So I am not currently paying for it. However, should insurance approve it next year, Janssen also has a copay assistance program to which I would only ever pay $5 a shot.
