Biologics are a type of disease-modifying antirheumatic drug that can treat a variety of conditions by targeting parts of the immune system that cause inflammation. These medications can be life-changing for those that suffer from chronic skin conditions.
How Do Biologics Work?
Biologics are administered via subcutaneous injection. Because the immune system plays a significant role in how chronic conditions develop, biologics are used to modify the immune system’s activity to downplay the condition.
When Should I Consider Biologics?
Providers will often bring up biologics to people after topical and oral medications fail. A thorough evaluation will be performed to determine which treatment options are best for you.
