The Goeckerman Regimen for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Psoriasis
Published on: July 11, 2013
Update on Current Care Guideline: Psoriasis (skin and joints)
Abstract:
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disorder of the skin and joints. Moderate-to-server cases are associated with an independent risk of comorbidity (cardiovascular diseases and diabetes) even after adjusting for risk factors, known to be more prevalent in psoriatics compared to normal population. The systemic underlying inflammation, analogous to that observed in rheumatoid arthritis, calls for a long-term effective treatment. Screening and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors is highly recommended. The biologic drug arsenal has new additions. Long term treatment data from clinical study extensions and independent registries are reviewed.
