Metoject® PEN For Dermatology

Metoject PEN® is used to treat moderate to severe psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy, and severe psoriatic arthritis in adults4.

Methotrexate in Dermatology

Known as a systemic treatment, methotrexate acts on the whole body rather than targeting one area6.

Methotrexate has been used to treat psoriasis for many years3, and it works by calming down the body’s immune system, preventing it from attacking itself. This in turn helps to reduce the thickened skin in psoriasis2.

Please visit the Psoriasis Association webpage at www.psoriasis-association.org.uk for more psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis specific information and support.

Metoject® PEN should only be administered once per week
