Cosentyx - Week 1....and beyond....

[Caroline]

Gosh. Me being such a big DMF fan and all, like Jim, Caroline, Bassman et al, I wonder why the biologics dont get used for a couple of months to do the heavy clearing, then try a switch to DMF for maintenance? This may be possible as some of the biologics seem to modify the disease at a fundamental level. If it were just keeping my skin clear I could do this with DMF at a cost of 13 cents a week. Health insurance companies are incredibly inefficient.

Cheers,

Bill,

Economically and with normal straightforward common sense you are more than right. Even an insurance may be willing to promote it.

BUT there are enormous financial gains to be made by big pharma with DMF. The dollar signs are already visible in the eyes of Biogen. One of the things they already decided is that DMF belongs in there long term visions. Translated that means that they want to earn a lot of money with it.
Cannot tell more now, cause this is an open part of the forum, and bots can crawl around here. But one thing is sure. Despite the low costs of DMF and the big potential for auto immune diseases, the big companies want to make an awful lot of money on us.

Cheers,
Caroline
