Sponsor's own description
This study is a comparative clinical study evaluating the efficacy of combined therapy using cyclosporine and metformin versus cyclosporine alone in the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often requires systemic therapy in moderate to severe cases. Cyclosporine is an effective immunosuppressive agent; however, its long-term use is limited by potential adverse effects. Metformin, a commonly used antidiabetic drug, has shown anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, which may enhance treatment outcomes in psoriasis. This study aims to assess whether adding metformin to cyclosporine improves clinical response compared to cyclosporine monotherapy.
