Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions about psoriasis medications:

1. What type of psoriasis medication is best for me? Will you be prescribing medication in pill form or as a topical treatment?
   
   
2. Will I take this drug alone, in combination with other drugs or with phototherapy?
   
   
3. How and when should I take my psoriasis medication?
   
   
4. How long will I require this psoriasis medication?
   
   
5. How will this medication affect my current medical conditions other than psoriasis?
   
   
6. How will this medication interact with other medications I am currently taking?
   
   
7. What side effects may I develop?
   
   
8. What side effects should I immediately report to you?
   
   
9. How long will it take for the drug to take effect?
   
   
10. How will I know if the drug is working?
    
    
11. What will be the next step if this drug fails to relieve my symptoms?
