Cutis_suppl_2019_psoriasis

A majority of patients with psoriasis are undertreated. In recent years, however, new formulations of topical medications for psoriasis have been introduced, with the goal of enhancing penetration, efficacy, and patient acceptance. Along with new systemic therapies, these treatments allow for more aggressive goals for disease clearance.

 

Topical medications can be used as monotherapy but combining topical agents can increase efficacy and may allow for use of lower doses with fewer adverse events. Fixed-dose combination treatments combine active ingredients in one vehicle and may improve patient adherence and acceptance by simplifying the treatment regimen.

 

This supplement provides physicians with education on evidence-based assessment and management of psoriasis, the combination of systemic and topical medications, and strategies for improving patient adherence to treatment regimens.
