Abstract:
The financial coverage granted by law in Chile for patients with psoriatic
arthritis who require biological treatment is of paramount importance and a
great advance. However physicians must be knowledgeable about the advantages
and limitations of this therapy. The challenge of clinicians is to choose the drug
with the greater odds of achieving therapeutic success, with less adverse events
and lower costs for our health system. This article aims to help doctors to select
the best biological treatment for a specific patient, trying to optimize its effectiveness, minimizing adverse effects, always looking for an efficient use of resources.
