Plaque psoriasis is a skin condition where the skin cells grow faster than they normally should. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is likely due to an overactive immune system. External triggers such as stress and medications can also cause and worsen symptoms. This causes the buildup of skin cells on the surface of the skin. The leading sign of this skin condition is the appearance of red-colored patches covered with silver patches on the surface of the skin. The patches can be painful, red, and itchy. 

How Does Skyrizi Work?

The body produces a protein known as IL-23 that causes inflammation in the body, resulting in plaques that appear on the skin’s surface. Skyrizi works by binding itself to excess IL-23 in the body to reduce inflammation.

As a result, the scaly patches on the skin surface get cleared gradually, and symptoms decrease. 

Precautions Before Using Skyrizi

Skyrizi affects the immune system and impairs its ability to fight off infections. While on this drug, you will be more susceptible to infections your body would normally fight off. Therefore, once you see any signs or symptoms of infections, you should immediately reach out to your doctor. 

Here are some of the conditions to discuss with your doctor before taking Skyrizi: 

  • If you have tuberculosis or have been in close proximity to someone with tuberculosis
  • If you just received a vaccine dose or are scheduled for a booster dose.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • If you are below the age of 18.

የመድሃኒት አስተዳደር

To ensure the most effective treatment, patients are advised to strictly follow the doctor’s orders when using Skyrizi or any other medication. Adults treating plaque psoriasis inject the medication subcutaneously using a prefilled syringe or pen. You can receive this medication through a specialized pharmacy like AmeriPharma

Patients with Crohn’s disease receive the first or initial dose through the vein (intravenous injection) by a healthcare professional in a healthcare facility. After the first dose, the patient can continue with the follow-up doses through subcutaneous injections using a prefilled syringe or pen.

Dosage

The dose of Skyrizi a patient receives is highly dependent on the conditions they are treating. For instance, adults treating plaque psoriasis should take 150 mg of the medication through subcutaneous injection at Week 0, Week 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter. The same dosage applies to adults treating psoriatic arthritis. 

For Crohn’s disease, the induction dosage is 600 mg through intravenous injection over one hour at Week 0, Week 4, and Week 8. This should be followed by the maintenance dosage of 180 mg to 360 mg administered through subcutaneous injection at week 12 and every eight weeks thereafter. 

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is near the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, as you must not take two doses at the same time or close to the same time. You should rotate injection sites and avoid injecting within two inches of your navel.
