Overview

Essential measures for the secondary prevention of psoriatic arthritis include calcium and vitamin D supplementation to prevent drug associated osteoporosis. To decrease the risk of cardiovascular complications and to prevent recurrent episodes effective measures include exercise, smoking cessation, and dietary control.

Secondary prevention

  • The following measures may be helpful for the secondary prevention of psoriatic arthritis:
    • Protection of bone is essential due to the prolonged use of glucocorticoids and DMARDs to prevent drug induced osteoporosis.
    • Supplemental intake of calcium 1000 to 1200 mg/day and vitamin D 600 to 800 IU/day is recommended for patients using prolonged glucocorticoids.[1]
  • Patients are monitored regularly for disease activity, drug efficacy, adverse effects and associated comorbid conditions.[2]
  • The following measures are helpful to prevent cardiovascular complications associated with psoriatic arthritis.[3]
    • Smoking cessation
    • Dietary control to prevent hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.
    • Exercise
