Certain Medications
Certain medications have been held responsible for causing psoriasis. That is why prolonged use of some medicines is not advisable as they can lead to further complications. Let us take a look at some drugs that can cause psoriasis. Antimalaria drugs (chloroquine, Plaquenil, Quinacrine) and anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen, Indomethacin and ACE inhibitors or medications for treating high blood pressure generally, have been proven to cause psoriasis. Also, lithium and iodides are part. So, if you are diagnosed with psoriasis, confirm from your doctor to know if it is your medication that is the cause. [9]
