  • Publication number: 20170360882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing, improving or treating psoriasis containing an immunomodulator and glucosamine. Cyclosporine, an immunomodulator, is difficult to administer for a long time due to side effects thereof, and, when the administration of cyclosporine is discontinued, lesions tend to deteriorate to an original state thereof. However, according to the present invention, the co-administration of cyclosporine and glucosamine, even when the dose of cyclosporine is reduced, may exert a far superior effect on the treatment or improvement of psoriasis than the administration of cyclosporine and glucosamine alone.

  • Patent number: 9642870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing, treating or alleviating atopic dermatitis comprising an immunosuppressant and a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor as active ingredients. Conjoint administration of an immunosuppressant and a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor according to the present invention makes it possible to achieve far better therapeutic effects than with administration of either an immunosuppressant or a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor alone, since there is a reduction in the dose of an immunosuppressant which is difficult to administer for a long time because of side effects and with which, when discontinued, lesions are liable to become exacerbated to the original state, and since an immunosuppressant is mixed with a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor which in some patients has a lackluster effect in treating atopic dermatitis.
