Nội dung tóm tắt
The lecture by ThS. BS. Trần Thị Thúy Phượng presents information on the use of oral medication in the treatment of psoriasis. The lecture is divided into sections including an overview of psoriasis, pathology of psoriasis, oral medications for treating psoriasis, and the use of methotrexate. Accordingly, methotrexate is a drug that inhibits enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthetase, reducing the folate and thymidylate necessary for DNA, RNA synthesis. The lecture also discusses dosage, monitoring, and side effects of methotrexate, as well as conditions for using this drug. Finally, the lecture states that methotrexate should only be used in cases of financial hardship, when psoriasis is accompanied by external joint infection and cannot use biological drugs, and in combination with biological drugs, a promising approach.
