The Importance of Advanced Therapy for Psoriatic Arthritis
Because psoriatic arthritis is a progressive disease that can damage your joints, it is important to start an effective treatment upon diagnosis that can help relieve symptoms as well as help stop further joint damage. The goal of therapy for people with psoriatic arthritis is to effectively manage both joint and skin symptoms over the long term in order to help stop further joint damage and help maintain quality of life. The benefits of advanced therapy include relief from joint pain and skin symptoms such as itching, scaling, and inflammation. Such symptoms can interfere with your daily routine and quality of life. Psoriatic arthritis can become a disabling disease resulting in permanent joint damage or even deformity if left untreated. Even if you have had psoriatic arthritis for many years, you may still benefit from an advanced treatment like REMICADE. While many medications merely treat joint symptoms such as pain, swelling, and stiffness, REMICADE provides rapid relief of symptoms and helps stop the progression of joint damage. REMICADE also helps improve physical function, so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy. Individual results may vary. Learn more about therapy with REMICADE and if it’s right for you. |
