Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Drugs are a known cause of flaring psoriasis, particularly NSAIDs, Antihyertensives and B2 adrenergic agonists.
The drug that you have been using is a B2 adrenergic agonist and it is a well known fact that B2 adrenergic agonists can exacerbate already existing psoriasis.
I suggest you to always take any other treatment apart from that prescribed by your dermatologist for psoriasis, only after consultation with your dermatologist to avoid any possible chances of flaring psoriasis.
