What medicine does psoriasis use

First: topical glucocorticoid is often said to be a hormone, which is the most effective topical medicine for psoriasis, and the cheapest. Due to the easy loss of moisture in the skin of patients with psoriasis, it is relatively dry. Moisturizers can moisturize the skin and restore elasticity.

Second: vitamin D3 derivatives, such as calcipotriol and tacalcitol, are the most widely used non hormonal drugs. This kind of product is more safe than hormone for long-term use, so it is very popular. The disadvantage is that it takes effect slowly and has certain irritation.

Third: the latest therapeutic drugs are calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, which are less irritating and can be used to replace hormones and calcipotriol in the head and face or other sensitive skin parts; there is also a large class of new drugs, such as compound preparations of calcipotriol and betamethasone, which combine the efficacy of a variety of drugs with complementary advantages.
