Dermatol Clin. 2004 Oct;22(4):487-92, x. doi: 10.1016/S0733-8635(03)00128-1.

Abstract

Exciting new therapies are becoming available that allow dermatologists and patients safe and effective alternatives to traditional psoriasis therapy. Because these new biologic drugs are parenterally administered, practical aspects of their integration into clinical practice must be addressed. This article offers guidelines for incorporating subcutaneous,intramuscular, and intravenous injectables into dermatology offices. Several tiers of psoriasis care are outlined to encourage individual physicians to choose the optimum level of service compatible with their individual practices.
