Interview Transcript "I was diagnosed with psoriasis about seven years ago.

I like sports overall, but particularly soccer, and as a former goalkeeper, I used my hands a lot. Psoriasis affected it quite a bit. But with Raptiva® (efalizumab), now I can get back to playing and coaching like I used to before.

I tried all kinds of treatments, but none seemed to work until my dermatologist mentioned Raptiva to me. At first I was a little nervous about the Raptiva shot, being scared of needles and all, but after the first one, it was a piece of cake.

Since using Raptiva, the psoriasis in my hands and my feet has improved dramatically. I would say about 97 percent of my psoriasis is gone. It allows me now to be able to touch my family, shake hands at work and grab hold of my son."

Product Indication Raptiva is a medicine given by injection and is used to treat adult patients (18 years or older) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who can be treated with medicines that affect the whole body (systemic therapy) or with phototherapy.
