- New approaches to moderate to severe psoriasis unburden even the most stubborn cases. This progression stems from recent understanding of the disease as an immune abnormality leading to chronic skin inflammation. Over the past decade “biologics” have supplanted topical steroids and tar ointments when the disease covers more than 10% of the skin’s surface.
Early biologics including Humira, Enbrel and Remicade offer moderate relief but targeted a wider swath of the immune system. Newer drugs narrow their focus and offer a greater likelihood of complete skin clearance within a relatively short timeframe. Among the new generation are Cosentyx, Taltz and now Tremfya.
Tremfya is the first drug to specifically attack a critical messenger in the inflammatory cascade. It blocks the ability of IL-23 to initiate the process leading to the psoriatic manifestations of redness, itching and skin discomfort.
Treatment may be administered by either the patient or health care practitioner. After an initial subcutaneous injection and another 1 month later, therapy continues with a single shot every 8 weeks.
First the good news - after 16 weeks, about 85% of patients initially suffering moderate to severe disease can expect clear or almost completely clear skin. The bad news - the cash price for the drug is well is excess of $10,000.00 a syringe or $60,000.00 each year. For those paying full price this averages $225 every day.
Fortunately the drug company whose sales exceed $200,000,000.00 each day are kind enough to offer a copay card that limits your out of pocket cost to $5 per syringe. They seem content to reap their rewards from the insurance companies who in turn raise their premiums on everyone to cover these inflated charges.
I'm taking my 1st dose of Tremfya right now. Hoping for the best.

Thank you
Thank you, Doc!! I have to begin taking Tremfya due to serious psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. You have put my mind at ease with your video. Thanks again!!!
thank you for this outstanding video, both informative and critical -- regards
My wife uses it for psoriatic arthritis. You are correct the price is immoral but without treatment with biologics she can not even use her hands.
Thank you Doc, for the great informative info. I received my first Tremfya injection last week by my Dr. I am a little nervous about injecting the others myself.

Yes, the Tremfya is working well. It might not last as long. I take it once every two months as the Stelara was once every three.
You sir should be President. An extremely informative video explaining psoriasis treatment and it’s over priced cost. Thank you Dr. Ken
