I'm eager to try this as my psoriases is slowly coming back and its hard to clear when it flares.Ive tried so many pills and shots but nothing seems to work.I'm even resilient to the topicals now.
That's a big fail Novartis. Approval granted 21 Jan 2015 in the USA and you still don't know when it will be available to your customer.
How can they expect us as the patient to have confidence in them if they can't give us an answer as to when it is available, but then again I still can not get my had around the way your system works in the USA. It seems very odd to me that your insurance company says they have approved it, your government has approved it, yet Novartis say "Keep checking back"
Fred crosses Cosentyx off his list of possibles to try next and gets off his soap box.
Wormtail I'm very sorry that we couldn't give you an answer on Psoriasis Club, but it does look like in a roundabout way you have got one. Keep checking back or go for another treatment.
My choice would be find another treatment.
