27
Q

What biologics are used to treat psoriasis?

A

-Alefacept
-TNF Inhibitors (Etanercept, Infliximab, Adalimumab)
-Ustekinumab (IgG antibody)

27
Q

What biologics are used to treat psoriasis?

A

-Alefacept
-TNF Inhibitors (Etanercept, Infliximab, Adalimumab)
-Ustekinumab (IgG antibody)

28
Q

Are biologic agents naturally occurring or are they synthetically made?

A

Naturally occuring

29
Q

What effect does Alefacept have on the immune system?

A

-Stops the activity of T lymphocytes

30
Q

How is Alefacept administered?

A

Intramuscularly

31
Q

How does Etanercept work?

A

It acts as a decoy receptor for TNF-Alpha. Etanercept receptors will become saturated so normal TNF-Alpha receptors do not. Thus, decreasing inflammation

32
Q

How does Infliximab and Adalimumab work?

A

They bind directly to TNF-Alpha receptors

33
Q

How do corticosteroids work?

A

They induce the synthesis of IkBa, a protein that traps and inactivated NF-kB

34
Q

What does NF-kB do?

A

It is an activator of cytokine genes and mediator of the proinflammatory action of TNF and IL-1

35
Q

What are 2 antipruritic agents?

A

-Doxepin
-Pramoxine

36
Q

What do Trichogenic agents do?

A

They are hair producing agents
