There are many biologics that can help treat psoriasis, so if one doesn’t work for you, you may be able to find relief from another. It may take a few weeks or months to see results, so it may require some patience. Talk to your doctor about what to expect when starting a new biologic and how to know if your biologic is the right fit for you — or if it’s time to try a new one.
