Cyclosporine is often prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis by suppressing the immune response that causes the skin inflammation. Epinephrine is a medication for emergency situations such as severe allergic reactions. Azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil are immunosuppressive medications, but they are not commonly used for the treatment of psoriasis.
