Imotrax can help in curing psoriasis which is caused by the overactive immune system. It is used in the treatment of severe cases of psoriasis when another treatment with other medications is not working. Imotrax contains methotrexate that suppresses the body's overactive immune system. This helps in reducing the severity of psoriasis so that patient can use milder therapy for relief.
