I was put on soriatane just a month ago and I have already started to see an improvement in my psoriasis. So far I have not had a lot of side effects either.

Soriatane works fairly well for my severe pustular psoriasis. However, the medication has caused an increase in my cholesterol. But this is monitored closely by my dermatologist with a simple blood test regularly.

Wonderful medicine for the treatment of psoriasis. Be patient for long term effects. You should expect extreme peeling of your skin during the beginning stages of taking Soriatane. The peeling is not painful, it is just inconvenient.
