How Well Does Solara Help With Psoriasis?

I have had psoriasis for at least 50 years. My father, 2 sisters, and several members of my father s family had it also. I was on Methotrexate until my liver enzymes were elevated and then the dermatologist prescribed cyclosporin . I have been taking it for about 3 years. It worked wonders at first and I was able to cut my dose down to 2 per day. I am now taking cyclosporin 3 times per day and it seems to have quit working. I heard about solara and that it really works well. The problem is the cost. My friend is taking the injections and she said it costs over $4000 every 3 months. Is there any way that this medication can be covered. What is your experience with the medication? Does it work as well as my friend is telling me? Also the only dermatologist that we had in the city I live in, retired recently and so far we don t have one here. Can my family doctor prescribe this? Hello?
