Good article and it's terrible that it ever got prescribed wrongly, I can understand patients not understanding the instructions but not doctors prescribing wrongly
So good they are doing something
I have a better solution. .......................................... Do not prescribe poison to treat psoriasis and move on to better treatments that they will have to use in the end anyway. You only have to trawl through posts on Psoriasis Club to see that the only things working are DMF and Bio.
That's the only reason they make us jump through hoops and fail them before moving on
I know a few are successfully treated with methotrexate but usually it's a few months on methotrexate or cyclosporine or acetretin but they do tend to fail or have ongoing side effects that are hard to live with
