tacrolimus/prograf
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2003Dear all,
Hi! I am new to this list. I am not new to psoriasis, however! I am a 26
year old female. One sister has psoriasis, and my father has it on his
elbows only, and that very manageably. I have had it since I was 8, I
think.
In recent years, the past 5 I think, I have become almost 1/2 covered by
psoriasis patches. Right now I am using tacrolimus, or prograf. It’s an
immunosuppressant that I apply topically (man, that takes a long time!) and
it’s quite expensive. However, I am willing to cut back on some other
things to try and clear up my poor skin. ![]()
Anyone on the list use this? Can you tell me how long it takes to clear up
your skin? I hear this is a very effective treatment, so I want to verify
