How do you use Impoyz cream?
Impoyz (clobetasol) topical cream is typically applied as a thin layer to the affected skin areas 2 times each day. Rub the cream in gently and completely. Ask your doctor how much cream to use, where to apply it, and for how long. Always use Impoyz cream exactly as your doctor tells you to use it.
Wash your hands after you apply the cream to avoid getting it in your eyes.
Use Impoyz cream for the shortest amount of time needed to treat your plaque psoriasis. Tell your doctor if your skin condition is not getting better after 2 weeks of using Impoyz. The total dosage should not exceed 50 grams per week.
See your doctor regularly to check your symptoms. Discuss any side effects while using Impoyz Cream with your healthcare provider.

How does Ilumya work to treat psoriasis?
Ilumya works by binding selectively to interleukin-23 (IL-23) which is a naturally occurring cytokine. IL-23 plays a key role in promoting inflammation and regulating other cytokines (such as IL-17) and inflammatory substances, such as TNF-α3-7. By blocking the effects of IL-23, Ilumya helps control the release of IL-17 and TNF-α, which reduces inflammation associated with psoriasis. It also decreases how many inflammatory cells are present within psoriatic lesions, helps prevent plaque formation, and resolves tissue damage. Continue reading
