Pharmacology
TNF-alpha antagonist; infliximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the biological activity of TNF-alpha by binding with high affinity to both soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-alpha and inhibiting its binding to receptors, thereby reducing inflammation in RA, CD, UC, AS, PsA, and Ps.
WYNZORA Cream combines calcipotriene, a synthetic vitamin D3 analog, and betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic corticosteroid; the exact mechanisms of their actions in plaque psoriasis are unknown.
