Frequently Asked Questions

When are tablet treatments used?

Tablet treatments may be necessary for more severe cases of psoriasis, especially when it affects more than 10–20% of the skin or does not respond to topical therapies or ultraviolet light. They are also often required when psoriasis significantly impacts daily activities, such as in cases involving the hands or feet."Oral medications may be recommended for cases involving nail psoriasis or unstable forms of the condition. Patients with psoriatic arthritis, a type of joint pain linked to psoriasis may also find relief through tablet-based treatments.

What tablets are available for psoriasis?

While tablet treatments can effectively reduce or clear severe psoriasis, they require close monitoring by a dermatologist, as their action involves suppressing the immune system.

How can I tell if tablet treatment is right for my psoriasis?

Not everyone with psoriasis requires tablet medication. These prescriptions are typically reserved for individuals who do not respond to topical treatments, phototherapy, or recommended lifestyle and dietary changes. Your specialist will assess your condition thoroughly and advise whether tablet treatment is appropriate for you, taking the time to discuss all available options in detail

Will vitamin supplements help?

Certain nutrients and supplements—such as zinc, selenium, vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, fish oil, and various herbal products—have been reported to help manage psoriasis in some individuals. If you're interested in exploring these options, we recommend consulting a qualified health food retailer or homeopath. While supplements may offer benefits in specific cases, our perspective is that if a placebo is harmless, there is no harm in trying it—provided it does not interfere with your prescribed treatment.
