WHAT IS PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin, causing red, itchy and scaly patches.
CAUSES:
The exact cause of psoriasis is not yet fully understood. However it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research
has shown that certain genes play a role in the development of psoriasis as it tends to run in families. However having these genes does not necessarily mean a person will develop the condition.
Additionally, certain triggers can exacerbate or initiate psoriasis flare-ups.

GEMFIBROZIL
It was designed first at the Parke Davis Research Laboratories, Detroit in the year of 1968 in order to lower serum lipid. After three years of intense research, in 1971, gemfibrozil was proposed as a new drug with its lipid lowering ability.
Gemfibrozil is in the fibric acid derivatives drug class, which inhibits the production of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and enhances VLDL clearance by stimulating lipoprotein lipase activity. This primarily results in reducing triglycerides and raising HDL-C.
