What medications are used for moderate to severe psoriasis?
For moderate to severe psoriasis, treatments often include systemic medications that work throughout the body, such as biologics and oral medications. Biologics target specific parts of the immune system, while traditional oral medications can help reduce inflammation. Topical treatments may also be prescribed for localised areas, but they are less effective for widespread psoriasis.
Key points:
- Systemic medications are used for more extensive cases.
- Biologics specifically target immune system components.
- Oral medications can help reduce overall inflammation.
- Topical treatments may be used for localised psoriasis.
