Apraize 30 Tablet is an oral medication used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It is prescribed when traditional treatments like topical creams, phototherapy, or immunosuppressants are not effective or cause side effects. Plaque psoriasis causes red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin, most commonly on the scalp, knees, elbows, and lower back. Apraize contains Apremilast, which helps reduce inflammation and skin cell overgrowth. This medication helps control flare-ups, improves skin appearance, and reduces discomfort. It is suitable for long-term management and may improve the patient’s quality of life when taken consistently.

How Apraize 30 Tablet works
Apraize 30 Tablet contains Apremilast, a PDE4 (phosphodiesterase 4) inhibitor. In people with psoriasis, certain immune cells release excess inflammatory messengers like TNF-alpha and interleukins. These messengers trigger rapid skin cell growth and inflammation. Apraize works by blocking PDE4, an enzyme involved in the production of these chemical signals. By reducing their levels, Apraize lowers inflammation and slows down the overproduction of skin cells. This leads to fewer, smaller, and less inflamed patches over time. It also helps relieve itching, flaking, and discomfort caused by chronic skin lesions. You can take Apraize with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day. Improvement may take several weeks. Doctors may also monitor your weight during treatment, as some patients experience weight loss while on this medication. Consistent use is important for full benefit, and stopping suddenly may cause symptoms to return.
