Aprivance 30 Tablet 10 contains apremilast (30 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits PDE4 enzyme: Apremilast blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), which normally breaks down a substance called cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in inflammatory cells.

• Increases cAMP levels: By preventing the breakdown of cAMP, this medicine increases its concentration within cells, which helps control inflammation.

• Reduces pro-inflammatory substances: Apremilast decreases the production of substances that promote inflammation, such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-23, and interleukin-17.

• Increases anti-inflammatory mediators: This medicine helps boost levels of interleukin-10, which works to reduce inflammation in the body.

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

• Dispose of unused tablets according to local waste guidelines.

• For psoriasis management: Include anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), olive oil, and colourful fruits and vegetables, which may help reduce skin inflammation.

• For psoriatic arthritis: Maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular gentle exercise like swimming or walking, as excess weight puts additional pressure on affected joints.
