- Methotrexate
Methotrexate [11] reduces the inflammatory activity of the immune system and reduces skin cell production. This drug is usually administered orally in a single dose. Side effects include stomach upset, loss of appetite, and fatigue.
Because of its potential side effects, people on this drug for long periods need regular testing to ensure their liver function and blood counts are within normal levels. You should not take this drug when breastfeeding and at least three months before conceiving, regardless of your sex.
Conclusion
Psoriasis is not a curable condition, but treatments can help greatly improve your symptoms. With the right treatments for your condition, you may experience fewer flares and long-term remission.
