Has Simponi (golimumab) been used for psoriasis and does it help with flare-ups?
Yes, Simponi (golimumab) is a TNF-alpha inhibitor that's commonly prescribed for people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It's a type of biologic medication that targets tumor necrosis factor, a specific part of the immune system that causes inflammation.
TNF-alpha inhibitors like Simponi work by blocking proteins that contribute to inflammation in psoriasis. By reducing this inflammation, they can help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
What to know about biologics:
Biologics are given by injection or infusion and may be taken every few weeks or months depending on the medication. Because they suppress aspects of the immune system, they may increase your risk of infections.
It's important to be closely monitored while using biologics and to discuss any possible side effects with your healthcare provider. Each person responds differently to treatment, so what works well for one person may vary for another.
If you're considering or currently using Simponi, keep in touch with your dermatologist about how it's working for you and any concerns you might have.
