Attention: Users of Raptiva (efalizumab)

Raptiva was approved by the FDA in October, 2003 for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and is manufactured by Genentech.

Further European regulators have recommended suspension of sales of Genentech Inc.'s psoriasis treatment Raptiva.

Patients taking Raptiva should watch for signs of serious infection. including confusion dizziness or loss of balance, difficulty talking or walking and vision problems, bruising, worsening of psoriasis or arthritis, sudden onset of numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms, legs, or face.
