My dermatologist has told me it is safe to do so, I wanted to see if anyone has done so.

I'm on Otezla for 6 mos. There is a $0 copay. My dermatologist set this up for me. I had 6 mos of steroid injections and all my thick elbow psorasis went away. Started Otezla at that point. 6 mos later no psorasis. As for joint pain it's not doing anything for that but then I'm on a half dosage as 2 pills a day upset my stomach. Medical marijuana takes away morning stiffness but doesnt do much for the pain. I use Mary's freeze cream with cbd oil in it. Wonderful product. Have to get it at marijuana pharmacy.

Hi Serena, I shouldn't imagine that any specialist would allow anyone that is pregnant or intending to become pregnant to use any form of biologic.
