Pharmacology
TNF-alpha antagonist; adalimumab-adaz is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, also lysing surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
Topical super-high potency corticosteroid; halobetasol propionate plays a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation, though its precise mechanism of action in plaque psoriasis is unknown.
