What do doctors generally presribe for psoriatic arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most start with...: A non-steroidal agent such as naproxen, coupled with Methotrexate and perhaps sulfasalazine. There are many drugs that can be used, but these are common starting agents! the Methotrexate will also improve the psoriasis quite frequently.
