Suggest Treatment For Psoriatic Arthritis

My husband suffers from psoritic arthritis he is 59 years old. He has been taking diclofnac Sodium 75mg for ten years and has now developed a fast irreular heart beat. The GP has preformed an ECG. We were looking at a class of drugs called Biologics for his condition. He can not take Suphasalizine and is very reluctant to take Methotrexate. Thankyou for your advice. Zoe White
