Otezla

How Does Otezla Work?

Otezla is a prescription pharmaceutical that regulates inflammation within the cells of the body or the skin. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme known as phosphodiesterase four or PDE 4. Since this enzyme controls the majority of all inflammatory action within cells, Otezla is able to limit the amount of inflammation in severe inflammatory disease. Otezla has to be prescribed by your doctor and is taken in pill form by mouth.

Conditions Treated by Otezla

Otezla is used primarily in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This pharmaceutical has been shown to significantly reduce the joint and skin inflammation associated with these diseases. In some cases, this medication may also be an effective treatment for other immune system disorders that involve inflammation. If you suffer from either psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, consult with your medical professional today to see whether Otezla can work for you.
