Comment:
I have psoriasis on scalp for more than 35 years and after I finished the starter pack, it is almost 90% clear. I am so happy with this drug. I had some side effects but after two weeks it got better. Taking it with food helps me a lot. I can not take it with empty stomach I feel nauseated. Try this drug and it is worth it.
