[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[jiml]

AAANDDD Another one    

(It's quiet at the office, so take part of the lunchtime to do some searching... )

British Journal of Dermatology 1999; 141: 424±429.
Treatment of severe psoriasis with fumaric acid esters: scientifc background and guidelines for therapeutic use

This is a nice PDF file with a complete description (could give you the link of course, but that is against policy you can find it yourself). Interestingly the use of DMF is even older than I thought. The publication is 1999 and they are already talking about 30 years of DMF use. That means that seen from our point in time, it's a 45 year old therapy.  

Will look that one up in my lunch time when my office is quiet ( i.e. When the Ironing is finished )

Just finished reading and can't say I understand it all but was interested to read that the combination therapy i.e Fumaderm was more effective than DMF alone (page426)
Also that it is effective against psoriatic arthritis ( although in the uk not prescribed for that) and we already know that fact
Overall it was a good read but to be honest a bit over my head
