RESUMEN
En el presente artículo, en base a una revisión de la literatura y su experiencia personal, un equipo multidisciplinar de 14 profesionales sanitarios (incluyendo dermatólogos, reumatólogos, neurólogos, gastroenterólogos, farmacéuticos y enfermeras) ha elaborado una serie de recomendaciones generales y específicas (basadas en la fisiopatología) para el manejo de los efectos adversos secundarios a apremilast que con mayor frecuencia conducen a la suspensión del tratamiento (diarrea, náuseas y cefalea). Se aportan algoritmos sencillos de manejo que incluyen aspectos clínicos de evaluación y sugerencias de tratamiento farmacológico. Los efectos adversos de apremilast pueden ser abordados desde un punto de vista multidisciplinar y la optimización en su manejo pretende proporcionar un beneficio clínico a los pacientes que los sufren
We present a series of general and specific recommendations based on pathophysiologic considerations for managing the most common adverse effects of apremilast that lead to treatment discontinuation: diarrhea, nausea, and headache. The recommendations are based on a review of the literature and the experience of a multidisciplinary team of 14 experts including dermatologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, pharmacists, and nurses. We propose a series of simple algorithms that include clinical actions and suggestions for pharmacologic treatment. The adverse effects of apremilast can be managed from a multidisciplinary approach. The purpose of optimizing management is to bring clinical benefits to patients
