A member asked:
Can you tell me about taking the disease modifying drug (dmards) for their psoriatic arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The two major DMARDs for treating psoriatic arthritis are Methotrexate and the biologics such as Remicade, (infliximab) Enbrel and Humira among others. All are extremely effective, especially the biologics. All have potential side effects such as infection risk, reduced blood counts and liver disease.
