Abstract:
This article discusses the issues involved in the integration of biologic therapies for psoriasis into a dermatology practice. The requirements for staff, space, and other office adaptations are reviewed for infliximab, efalizumab, etanercept, and alefacept in their current injectable forms. Dermatologists will likely elect to offer some or all of these therapies depending on the adjustments necessary within their current practice, patient satisfaction, and the economic possibilities. This article provides information needed to guide dermatology practices in practical decisions regarding the use of biologic therapies.
