Associated conditions like psoriatic arthritis can be part of the picture, too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment options are diverse as well. Topical therapies, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/corticosteroids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corticosteroids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, emollients, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/retinoids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">retinoids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have traditionally attacked this disease via anti-inflammatory mechanisms, moisturization, or inhibition of skin cell proliferation, respectively.

Immunosuppressants like early biologics risked a multitude of serious side effects. Hence, the search was on for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new medication for psoriasis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that combined tolerability with high efficacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"newly-approved-psoriasis-medication\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newly approved psoriasis medication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past two years, new topical and systemic agents have been added to the list of options for psoriasis management. Their advantages are significant for individuals looking for a new treatment for psoriasis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"vtama\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vtama<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022 for use in adults, Vtama (tapinarof) is a topical cream that treats plaque psoriasis by decreasing inflammation. It accomplishes this by modifying interleukin 17 (IL-17) cytokines, which are the immune system&rsquo;s messenger proteins. Vtama offers another topical treatment option to help avoid the topical corticosteroid side effect of skin atrophy or thinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"zoryve\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoryve<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoryve (roflumilast) is also a topical cream for plaque psoriasis in adults. It, too, got approval from the FDA in 2022. The drug&rsquo;s mechanism of action as a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor means it is not a steroid. This important distinction allows it to be used in skin folds, unlike topical steroids, which cannot be used due to skin atrophy side effects.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"sotyktu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sotyktu<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By inhibiting tyrosine kinase 2, and thereby modifying cytokines like interleukin 23, Sotyktu (deucravacitinib) acts as an effective anti-inflammatory treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The FDA approved this oral tablet as an anti-psoriatic medication in 2022. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaad.org\/article\/S0190-9622(22)02256-3\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clinical trials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leading to its approval demonstrated efficacy and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bimzelx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bimzelx<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bimzelx (bimekizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits IL-17 to reduce psoriasis inflammation. The treatment requires a subcutaneous injection every four weeks for 16 weeks, and then every eight weeks thereafter.
