Influence of gender on side effects' incidence in plaque psoriasis patients treated with cyclosporine: final results from the Italian observational GENDER ATTENTION study

Response to pharmacologic treatment usually differs between men and women. Sex hormones influence drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, pharmacodynamics and adverse effects.
Due to the increasing interest in gender medicine, the primary aim of the GENDER ATTENTION study is to describe the side effects’ incidence rate between genders and in relation to the estrogenic status (fertile or menopause) on a sample of Italian patients with psoriasis treated with cyclosporine.
