Next to methotrexate is Dimethylfumarate with an effectiveness of 70%. And it has the enormous advantage that it is way less toxic than MTX.
Fumaderm is though more expensive. But for me it is my health I am thinking about, which is an important factor in the choice of medication.
Surely it would be nice to create and build up a list with effective medications.
As far as I know there are no medicines that are 100% effective and without side effects.
Indeed this is why I am asking, I also like multiple sources of reference. This was from what my dermatologist told me. I think costs wold be variable as well but if we defined a treatment as low, medium or high cost. I do know that my derm didn't mention Dimethylfumarate, alternatives to MTX began with a c and an f if I recall. Obviously I was paying less attention then as well as knowing a lot less. And I still know nothing!
