I believe the list price for this med is $30,000-$70,000/ yr in the US market. No managed health plan here would cover this cost until you failed at other oral and injectable medications that were cheaper and had a range of distressing symptoms that made it the preferred drug. If you pay out of your own pocket I am sure the pharmacist would be happy to provide it.

There are more effective txs out there today, which may be less risky than committing to an injectable agent every 3 mos. See a dermatologist for eval and a successful strategy to control your psoriasis.
