Why some countries play with their own psoriasis treatments

[Caroline]

If you should follow the advice of your specialist, then what is the point of informed consent? Clearly the economic interests take precedence, else the best treatments would be offered first. But DMF is extremely cheap and very effective for many, so why is it not more widely available? My opinion is ignorance on the part of sufferers and health services, the rarity of severe cases, and a lack of financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies. Every patient like me on sub $20 per annum drug cost is potentially a $20,000 per annum lost opportunity for the supply of a biologic.

Cheers,

I so totally agree with you Bill...
