Traditional Systemics

Systemic medications are available by prescription only. Taken by mouth or by injection, they affect the entire body. Systemic drugs for psoriasis are typically prescribed when topical treatment fails to adequately treat psoriasis. These medications work by suppressing the overactive immune system in psoriatic disease. While typically more effective than topical medications, traditional systemic drugs can have a greater risk of side effects.

List of Traditional Systemic Drugs

How Does It Work?

Methotrexate can be used to treat psoriasis and the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Although the exact mechanism of methotrexate is not known, it is thought to work by regulating the overactive immune system that is present in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

How Is It Used?

Methotrexate is usually prescribed to be taken once per week. It is available as both a pill and an injection.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of methotrexate treatment include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, inflammation of the lips and/or mouth, fatigue, and liver function abnormalities.

Rare side effects of methotrexate include serious reactions such as bone marrow suppression which includes low red blood cell counts or white blood cell counts, as well as decreased platelet counts.  Rarely, it could also potentially cause liver damage, lung damage, or immunosuppression. It can be teratogenic if taken while pregnant (i.e., cause malformations in the unborn child).  To obtain a comprehensive list of all known potential side effects of methotrexate, talk your doctor or pharmacist.

Any Other Important Considerations?

Methotrexate is not safe to take during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking methotrexate, contact your doctor immediately.

If you are on this medication, you should not be breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to breast feed, speak with your prescriber before starting this medication.

While on this medication or if you just came off of this medication, if applicable, you should be on at least two forms of reliable birth control to prevent pregnancy as the drug can cause harm to an unborn baby. Make sure to discuss this with your prescriber.

Alcohol consumption is not recommended while taking methotrexate due to the risk of liver toxicity.

Since methotrexate is associated with rare, serious side effects, close monitoring by your doctor is recommended.

What Medications Interact With This Treatment?

Some medications that may interact with methotrexate include acitretin, cyclosporine, furosemide, NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. For a complete list of medications that may interact with methotrexate and to understand how a potential drug interaction should be managed, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

How Does It Work?

Cyclosporine is an oral medication often used in patients with liver, lung, or heart transplants. It works to treat psoriasis by regulating the immune system.

How Is It Used?

Cyclosporine is an oral medication dosed based on weight. The typical starting dose of cyclosporine is 2.5 mg/kg/day in two divided doses. The maximum dose of cyclosporine is 4 mg/kg/day.

What are the possible side effects?

It should be noted that because of the risk of toxicity, cyclosporine therapy should be limited to one year.  Common side effects of cyclosporine include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, headache, increased blood pressure, and tremor. Due to the risk of rarer, more serious side effects such as potential liver or kidney damage, it is important to be monitored regularly by your doctor when taking cyclosporine. To obtain a comprehensive list of all known potential side effects of cyclosporine, talk your doctor or pharmacist.

Any Other Important Considerations?

Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of cyclosporine in the blood. Grapefruit juice should be avoided if you are taking cyclosporine.

How Does It Work?

The exact mechanism of acitretin is unknown. It is thought to play a role in the multiplication of skin cells, and it may also have some immune-modulatory properties (i.e., regulates the immune system).

How Is It Used?

Acitretin is an oral medication and is typically taken with food in doses ranging from 25 to 50 mg per day.

What are the possible side effects?

Acitretin is teratogenic and should not be used in women of childbearing potential unless they plan to refrain from pregnancy for at least three years after discontinuing the drug. Common side effects of acitretin include hair loss, dry lips, dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, itchiness, joint pain, abnormal sensations such as tingling, and nose bleeds. Acitretin can also cause pancreatitis. If you notice depressive symptoms, have suicidal thoughts, or are experiencing nausea, vomiting, and headache while taking acitretin, it is important to consult your doctor. To obtain a comprehensive list of all known potential side effects of acitretin, talk your doctor or pharmacist.

Any Other Important Considerations?

Full improvement may not be seen for a few months, and temporary worsening of psoriasis may be seen initially.

Acitretin is a teratogen and increases the risk of significant birth defects. When treated with acitretin, two forms of reliable contraception to avoid pregnancy should be used starting one month prior to acitretin therapy through three years post-therapy.

Female patients of childbearing age are advised not to drink alcohol during acitretin therapy and for at least two months post-treatment, as alcohol can prolong the duration that acitretin has the ability to cause birth defects.

In general, treatment with acitretin should be discontinued when psoriasis sufficiently clears. Relapses of psoriasis may require acitretin to be restarted.

What Medications Interact With This Treatment?

Tetracycline antibiotics should not be taken while on acitretin therapy.

For a complete list of medications that may interact with acitretin and to understand how a potential drug interaction should be managed, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Before starting any new medications, ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is ok to take with acitretin.

NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Examples of NSAIDs include acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), meloxicam, and diclofenac (Voltaren, Arthrotec).

NSAIDs are medicines that relieve pain and reduce inflammation by stopping a chemical process in the body that leads to inflammation. NSAIDs are also used to treat fever.

How Is It Used?

NSAIDs come in a variety of forms including oral forms, suppositories, topical, and injectable forms.

Some oral NSAIDs are available over-the-counter, whereas others are available by prescription only. Some of the over-the-counter NSAIDs are available by prescription only at certain strengths.

Pill forms should be taken with food to lessen stomach upset.

What Are The Possible Side Effects?

The most common potential side effects from NSAIDs are related to the stomach. Side effects may range from discomfort, to more rarely gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, or ulceration. Less frequently, NSAIDs can have side effects related to the heart, kidneys, and skin. To obtain a comprehensive list of all known potential side effects of a specific NSAID, talk your doctor or pharmacist.

Any Other Important Considerations?

You should discuss whether or not it is safe for you to take NSAIDs with your doctor, primary care provider, or pharmacist if you have:

  • An ulcer in your stomach or intestine or if you have ever had bleeding from the gut
  • Heart disease (i.e., heart failure) or history of a stroke
  • Asthma or other lung conditions
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Disorders that increase the risk of bleeding
  • Plans for a surgery

If you are pregnant, NSAIDs should be avoided during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Check with your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.

Make sure to check with your physician, nurse practitioner, or a pharmacist regarding the maximum daily dose of an NSAID.

Acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) is not an NSAID, but it can be added on for pain relief. However, it does not have any effect on inflammation.

What Medications Interact With This Treatment?

Some examples of medications which interact with NSAIDs include diuretics (i.e., furosemide aka Lasix), blood pressure medications (i.e., beta blockers, hydrochlorothiazide), warfarin and other blood thinners (i.e., rivaroxaban aka Xarelto), lithium, cyclosporine, and certain antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (e.g., Septra).
