Review of Perscriptions

A MyPsoriasisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Palmdale, CA

Would like to know individual opinions, reactions or outcomes of the following perscriptions: Cosentyx - Setyktu - Otezla - Skyrizi - Tremfya. Have only used a steroid creme, but my outbreak has expanded. Want to clear up as best as possible, and, I want to know reviews from others of the above mentioned medications. Thank You all so much, appreciate it.

I have previously been on Otezla, worked great for about 2.5 years with only mild stomach upset on 1sr week or so. Stopped working so great so was on Taltz for about 3 years and the. Stopped working so great not on Tremfya for last 2 months so just finished loading dose and with Taltz and Tremfya also saw a mild stomach upset for a
Week or so. But everyone is different and you should start with the mildest medication that helps you. How you feel and how it helps you is the o my thing that matters. If you take one and it doesn’t help try another. Good luck

I have been taking Otezla for 2 years now. My dermatologist had concerns re: symptoms of psoriatic arthritis appearing in addition to the psoriasis on the palms of my hands. The side effects went away after a few weeks, and I was seeing some improvement. I am afraid I may need to try a different med, but to be honest, the new biologics make me nervous. Read as much as you can find about your condition, and these meds.

Update: met a woman just yesterday who has been taking Skyrizi. She says the prescription has cleared her skin, but doesn't do anything for her symptoms of psoriatic arthritis.
