Psorinovo and pregnancy

[Caroline]

Hi,
I am new here and have a question about Psorinovo. I'm 27 years old and have psoriasis since elementary school. Till now I have tried all kind of medications and my psoriasis had it's ups and downs. My doctors treated me with Beloderm, Belosalic, Monsalic or Elocom. I have tried phototherapy once but the results were poor. This week I changed my doctor from dermatologist to homeophat doctor who has an M.D. He prescribed me Psorinovo but didn't have concrete answers about using it before getting pregnant. I want to have a baby but maybe will have to go to I.V. next year, he told me if I get pregnant to stop the treatment.
Does anyone have any data about Psorinovo and pregnancy? Should I even start the treatment? I know it takes some time to get the results and don't want to wait that long with having a baby. Is it enough to stop using Psorinovo once I find out I'm pregnant or should I stop using it months before my pregnancy?

Hello Micamaca,

Welcome to the forum.

I have checked with the expert in this field.
1) no Psorinovo, or any form of DMF during pregnancy.
2) if you already know that you want to get pregnant, then I should not start with Psorinovo, that does not make sense..
3) absolutely avoid any chemicals like MTX, cyclosporine, acetrecitin (or whatever that is called), basically avoid every psoriasis treatment.

So you are in kind of a balance. When do you want to get pregnant?
Psorinovo takes a few months to get working. It is not logical to start with the treatment when you want to get pregnant in a few months.
If you are aiming at e.g. a year, well then you might start. If it works for you, you will at least be clear when you have to stop.
I would take at least 2 months off medication before starting to get pregnant.

Hope you have something on these remarks.

Caroline.
