Addressing Adherence: Supporting Patients With Psoriasis, Read more

Summary: Dr. Omar Noor explains how to help psoriasis patients who have trouble taking their medicine. Some patients, like a busy 45-year-old trial lawyer who travels a lot, forget to take their shots or get tired of doing it themselves. Other patients might have memory issues like dementia.

The best solution might be having the doctor give the shots right in the office. This way, patients get their medicine on time without the stress of remembering, and doctors can safely watch for side effects. Doctors can use a "buy-and-bill" system to keep the medicine in the office and give it to whoever needs it that day. This method works well with medicines like tildrakizumab, which has shown great results for clearing up stubborn scalp and nail psoriasis. In the end, good communication and fitting treatments into a patient's busy lifestyle are the keys to clearing up their skin.
