What are side effects of nonsteroidal medications for psoriasis?

Side effects of nonsteroidal psoriasis medications are associated with immunosuppressants (such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, and hydroxyurea) can include liver or kidney damage, anemia, high blood pressure, dizziness, or an upset stomach.

Long-term side effects are less well known for biologic agents (infliximab, etanercept) because they are relatively new. But because there is concern that they may damage nerves or increase infections, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers may not be recommended for people with multiple sclerosis or who carry tuberculosis.
