  from Heather Brannon, MD
I normally don't put a blog in my newsletter but I think this one is important. Genentech is withdrawing Raptiva, a medication used to treat psoriasis, from the market and patients taking it will need to discuss with their dermatologist how to taper off of it safely. Just stopping can cause a severe flare of psoriasis.

So it makes sense that this week I'll be covering psoriasis in the newsletter. Have a great week.
