This medicine helps to improve plaque psoriasis for clearer skin, and it helps to reduce inflammation and symptoms such as pain, redness, and swelling in psoriatic arthritis and Behcet's disease.
Otezla is from a class of medications called PDE4 inhibitors. These medications work by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 4 enzyme, which causes an increase in the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, a messenger involved in cell signaling in our bodies.
Otezla is not a biologic agent.
When starting this medicine, the dose is slowly increased over several days until you reach the maintenance dose, which is usually one tablet twice a day.
The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, headache, or cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat, which occur in 5 % or more of patients.
This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur.

This is my review of biologics for psoriasis! Biologic injections have worked wonders for my psoriasis. In this video I explain my experience and how much it has helped my psoriasis. While psoriasis cannot be cured at the moment, these biologics completely cleared by my psoriasis for some time and made me feel like I didn't have it anymore. I have been on both 1) Stelara and 2) Humira and talk about the differences between the two. I touch on psoriasis and the covid vaccine and explain the different ways to inject biologics. This is just an overall of my experience with biologics so if you have any questions let me know! But just remember I have not a doctor so am not an expert on how biologics work :)
Comment down below if you have psoriasis :)

Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease causing suffering in millions of people around the world. Even the worst psoriasis can be improved by avoiding the 7 things I discuss in this video. In psoriasis, your immune system is NOT over-active, it is inflamed & confused. Eliminating these 7 things from your life will help your immune system calm down and come to its senses.
You want your immune system to be very strong and to know exactly what is You, and what is non-You. Only when you eliminate these 7 things from your system can your immune system calm down and do a better job. You are currently poisoning your immune system with these 7 things, and your immune system is causing Psoriasis in return.

Skyrizi is a prescription medication that's helping many people manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Skyrizi was first FDA approved in 2019. It may be used to treat plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis in adults.
Skyrizi is a biologic medicine that’s also called an interleukin-23 antagonist. It works by attaching to the protein in the body called interleukin-23 or IL-23, which is involved in inflammation. By blocking IL-23, Skyrizi helps reduce inflammation, which improves the symptoms related to psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis.
After the first few doses, you only need to get Skyrizi every 8-12 weeks. It may be given as an intravenous infusion or injected under the skin. For injections under the skin, it comes in prefilled pens, syringes, and cartridges for use with an on-body injector.
Common side effects of Skyrizi include upper respiratory infections, headache, injection site reactions, urinary tract infections, fungal skin infections, low red blood cells, fever, joint pain, back pain, and feeling tired.

11 Natural Therapies (Outside of Drugs And Surgery) That Actually Work [free checklist]: https://curtis-alexander.com/
Skyrizi is used to treat psoriasis.
It’s mechanism of action is that it's an interleukin blocker. What that means is that eventually it's going to decrease the number of cytokines and chemokines that are produced in your body.
These substances are basically signaling proteins that lead to inflammation in your body.
Dosage
Skyrizi has a unique dosing schedule.
First of all Skyrizi comes in a 75 mg strength that you inject subcutaneously. You give two injections or 150 mg on day one, then you give 150 mg 4 weeks later, then you start giving 150 mg every 12 weeks.
The first month of dosing is what's referred to as a “loading dose”. The idea is to get your blood levels up a little higher earlier on and then level you out with the every 12 week dosing
Side Effects
Skyrizi does have some side effects that you need to be aware of.
First of all you can develop antibodies to use in Skyizi. This means that your body begins to develop antibodies to the drug and it can become less effective the longer you use it. You can see this in up to 24% of people who use it.
About 14% of people who use it can develop neutralizing antibodies. These types of antibodies actually make the drug ineffective.
The other type of side effect you can see is higher infection rates.
Remember Skyrizi acts on chemokines and cytokines. While they are involved in the inflammatory process remember that inflammation isn't always a bad thing. Part of your immune response involves inflammation. So when you knock that down it can lead to more infections.
You can see higher infection rate in up to 22% of users. Some of the more common infections tend to be upper respiratory tract infections and fungal infections.
I also warn people that you can see headaches in a small group of users as well as fatigue. But again these are only 3% to 4% of users.
One of the other things I get asked is if Skyrizi can cause weight loss?
It's actually not listed as one of the potential side effects for the drug. But keep in mind if you find that you're losing weight pay attention to if you are getting any sort of infections. If you're not feeling well because of infection there can be weight loss. But as far as Skyrizi directly affecting weight loss I think it's a long shot.
Because the drug can affect your immune system your doctor is likely going to monitor your labs throughout your use. I'll also test you for tuberculosis and monitor that as well.
How Long Does It Take To Work?
Skyrizi takes 3 to 14 days to reach peak blood levels. That doesn't mean it will take that long to start working. You may notice changes sooner.
But as far as peak effectiveness you're probably going to be looking at giving yourself at least a week or two on the medication to notice a change.
One of the biggest issues you see with people who want to use Skyrizi is that it costs quite a bit of money.
Sometimes we don't have any issues getting it through insurance other times you will. If that's the case you may want to look into financial assistance.
Here's a link to Skyrizi’s financial assistance program check it out see if you qualify: https://www.abbvie.com/patient....s/patient-assistance
