A member asked:

What else can i do for my psoriatic arthritis. i been taking methotrexate, sulfasalazine, plaquinal, folic acid, and naproxen for a year and a half?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TNF agents: If your psoriatic arthritis is uncontrolled on your present meds then the next step would be the addition of a tnf agent such as humira, Enbrel or remicade (infliximab). These are extremely effective meds.
