Transform Your Skin with Dermatology Psoriasis Biologic Therapy
Types of Biologic Therapies
Biologics used in psoriasis treatment primarily target the following:
- Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) Inhibitors: These drugs block TNF-alpha, a substance in the body that causes inflammation, and are often used for moderate to severe psoriasis.
- Interleukin Inhibitors: These target specific interleukins, such as IL-17, IL-12, and IL-23, which are proteins involved in the inflammatory process. They are known for their effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of psoriasis.
- T-cell Inhibitors: These work by blocking the activation of T-cells, which play a critical role in the immune response associated with psoriasis3.
