How is RAPTIVA different?

RAPTIVA: A biologic with a lot to offer.

The topicals were messy. The light treatments were inconvenient. The systemics had many potential side effects. And other biologics may not have worked for you. So perhaps you're wondering when will there be a treatment that's right for me?

• "I tried every treatment that I heard of for psoriasis. All the topicals. The creams. You know, I would have tried anything-just nothing worked."*

• *Individual results may vary.

RAPTIVA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients (18 years or older) with chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

RAPTIVA is a unique treatment for psoriasis because it is a biologic, and it works differently than any other psoriasis medication. If you have tried other treatments and haven't had too much luck, it may be time to try RAPTIVA.

RAPTIVA is different from other biologics.

• "I tried [a biologic] and was unresponsive to it. It didn't help me at all. So there came a point where I was pretty helpless. I figured there was just nothing I could do."*
• Tim S, RAPTIVA patient, 7 months
• *Individual results may vary.

Not all biologics are the same. In fact, there are 2 types of biologics that treat psoriasis: T-cell modulators and TNF inhibitors. RAPTIVA is a T-cell modulator that attaches to overactive T-cells to prevent them from sending messages to skin cells. Since these 2 biologics work differently, you may get different results from them. For more information on how biologics work, click here.

RAPTIVA is taken once a week.

RAPTIVA is a convenient once-weekly self-injection that you can take in the privacy of your own home. If you are like many people, you may not like needles. But don't worry. Once you are prescribed RAPTIVA, you will receive FREE at-home injection training from a healthcare professional, or you can learn at your dermatologist's office-whichever you prefer. Most people aren't bothered by the injections after they take the first one.

• "You know, the injection is the easy part for me. I was willing to do whatever it took to control the psoriasis."*

• *Individual results may vary.

RAPTIVA has a proven safety record.

All patients are different, and RAPTIVA will work differently for everyone. But you should take comfort in knowing that RAPTIVA has been tested in more clinical studies, with more psoriasis patients, than any other drug (biologic) of its kind. The most common side effects experienced with RAPTIVA are flu-like symptoms, such as headache, chills, fever, nausea, and muscle aches. These symptoms are usually mild and they often go away a few days after your first 2 injections. If you have side effects with RAPTIVA and need help managing them, talk to your doctor.

• "What makes RAPTIVA different, I think, is that it works from the inside out. I'm not a scientist. I don't know the science involved with that, but I do know that since I started using it, I've seen results-which is a far better story than I've had with all of the other treatments that I've tried."*
