RAPTIVA Patient Stories

If you suffer from psoriasis, you know all too well how it affects your skin. And possibly your life, too. From the clothes you wear to how you sleep at night. Psoriasis can even affect your work life. And finding the right treatment isn't always easy. In fact, a recent survey showed that most people who have psoriasis are unhappy with their current therapy. If you have stopped treating your psoriasis or are unhappy with your current therapy, now is the time to learn more about RAPTIVA.

When you treat psoriasis with RAPTIVA, you're treating it from the inside out. How? RAPTIVA is an injection you give yourself. And it is designed to work with your body's immune system to provide a significant improvement in moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis over time.

  • "RAPTIVA has given many of my patients noticeably clearer skin, as well as less redness and less itching."

A biologic like RAPTIVA may be right for you.

RAPTIVA can offer hope for people with chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. In fact, today is a very exciting time in the treatment of psoriasis. That's because RAPTIVA is a unique kind of medicine. RAPTIVA, a biologic, is a protein that is similar to other proteins found naturally in your body. It is a once-weekly injection that you give yourself.

  • "Once you see your shot doing something positive with something that's been so devastating, you're going to get happy. And you're going to say, I'm going to give myself that shot. And you get the courage to do it yourself."*
  • Penny, RAPTIVA patient, 1 year, 5 months

However, RAPTIVA may not work for everyone. Some people first get relief from the pain and discomfort of psoriasis. Then, they notice a decrease in plaques and redness. And finally, the plaques on their skin clear up. But keep in mind, everyone is different. And your experience with RAPTIVA may vary.

RAPTIVA works for the long-term.

  • "You can stay on RAPTIVA for as long as you can give yourself a weekly injection. Because with psoriasis, you're never cured. You can get it clearer, and RAPTIVA can help."*
  • Penny, RAPTIVA patient, 1 year, 5 months
  • *Individual results may vary.

If RAPTIVA works for you, it continues to work month after month. So if you start seeing results with RAPTIVA, feel confident that you should continue to see results for as long as you keep taking it.
