RAPTIVA Patient Stories

Friday is Mike's RAPTIVA day, and he's had plenty of them. Week after week, for 2 years and 6 months, RAPTIVA has continued to make a difference in Mike's psoriasis.

Mike's secret to sticking with it lies in the convenience of the once-weekly injections and how effective it has been for him. Perhaps it's not a typical bonding experience, but injections are actually something that he shares with his wife. "My wife has allergies, so we have shot night. I give her an allergy injection and she turns around and gives me my RAPTIVA injection."

When Mike experiences flares in his psoriasis, he speaks to his doctor. "RAPTIVA has cleared my psoriasis and kept it clear for over 2 years. I still do have some psoriasis and I still do have some itching, which I take an antihistamine for. And it's been very manageable. I intend to stay on it because it's been effective for me."

To manage the insurance process for his RAPTIVA, Mike relied on RAPTIVA Access SolutionsTM. "RAPTIVA Access Solutions helped me from the very beginning. They answered all my questions, and were very proactive in getting all the documentation together to help me get insurance approval."

The benefits of RAPTIVA have made Mike a committed RAPTIVA patient. "I intend to stay on RAPTIVA for as long as I can."
