Abstract:
The present work aims to highlight different ways to prevent diminished or lack of response of immunobiological drugs delivered subcutaneously, therefore reducing the burden of treatment with immunobiological drugs for both patients and healthcare system. Etanercept is an immunobiological drug with anti-TNF action, applied subcutaneously, which is indicated in cases of psoriasis refractory to other treatments. The present study shows a possible lack of response to the treatment after consecutive applications in the same anatomical site.
