Aprezo 10 Tablet 4 contains apremilast (10 mg), which works in the following ways:

• PDE4 enzyme inhibition: Apremilast blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) that is found in immune cells throughout your body. This enzyme normally helps control inflammation processes.

• Reduces inflammatory substances: By blocking PDE4, this medicine decreases the production of chemicals that cause inflammation in your body. This helps reduce the redness, scaling, and thickness of psoriasis plaques.

• Immune response modulation: Apremilast adjusts your immune system's activity without completely suppressing it. This helps control the overactive immune response that contributes to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

• Decreases joint inflammation: The medicine reduces inflammation in the joints, helping to decrease pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with psoriatic arthritis.

• Check the expiry date before use, and do not use expired medicine.

• Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fish and flaxseeds) and antioxidants (colourful fruits and vegetables) to help reduce inflammation associated with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

• Practise regular stress-reduction techniques such as gentle exercise, meditation or deep breathing, as stress can trigger or worsen flare-ups of psoriasis and related conditions.
