Question 1

I'm really worried about my father's health. He's been on a lot of medications and injections for his psoriasis, and he also has arthritis. If he starts taking Aprezo, how long would he need to stay on it? Are we talking months or years? This is really important to know.

Accepted Answer

Aprezo (Apremilast) is a medication for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The treatment duration varies depending on individual response and tolerability.

_Typical Treatment Duration_

1. _Induction phase_: 5 days to 1 week (initial dose escalation)
2. _Maintenance phase_: Ongoing, as long as the medication is effective and well-tolerated

_Monitoring and Adjustments_

1. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to assess response and adjust dosage as needed
2. Monitoring for potential side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, or headache

Question 2

I've been dealing with vitiligo and have been using tacroz and Melbild for around 11 months now. It's helped quite a bit with reducing my patches. I started off with 0.1 tacroz but now I'm down to 0.03, and use it about 2-3 times a week. I avoid putting it on my legs and only apply it to my arms and scalp. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using these products like this. I also take a week off every month. Do you think this is okay or should I be doing something different?

Accepted Answer

Yes You can continue, follow the treatment advised by your doctor,consume balanced diet, you will see results.

Question 3

I've been thinking about using ketoconazole lotion for my scalp, but I'm a bit worried if it could cause my hair to thin or lead to hair fall. Is this a common side effect? I'm trying to be cautious before starting anything new. What are your thoughts on this?
