What is Skyrizi?

Skyrizi is a prescription drug that helps treat severe cases of plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn’s disease, which are conditions linked to an overactive immune response. The active ingredient in Skyrizi, risankizumab-rzaa, works by targeting interleukin-23 (IL-23), a key protein involved in inflammation in the immune system. As a result, Skyrizi can help alleviate symptoms of certain inflammatory conditions. 

What doses of Skyrizi are available?

Skyrizi is available as a subcutaneous (under the skin) or intravenous (into the vein) injection. The subcutaneous injections come as a single-dose prefilled pen, syringe, or cartridge in strengths of 75 mg/0.83 mL to 360 mg/2.4 mL. The intravenous injection comes as a 600 mg/10 mL single-dose vial. The dosage of Skyrizi depends on the condition being treated. However, it’s typically given periodically every eight or 12 weeks. Always consult a healthcare provider for appropriate dosage instructions. 

What are the side effects of Skyrizi?

Skyrizi may cause side effects. The most common side effects of Skyrizi include:

• Injection site reactions

• Upper respiratory infections

• Headache

• Joint pain

• Stomach pain

• Low red blood cells (anemia)

Skyrizi is not typically associated with hair loss or weight changes. However, it may carry a risk of serious side effects, such as severe allergic reactions, liver problems, and an increased risk of infections. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Consult a healthcare provider for other potential side effects, drug interactions, and warnings.

Is Skyrizi hard on the liver?

Skyrizi has been associated with potential liver problems, although such cases are relatively rare and generally linked to the starting phases of treatment. Healthcare providers may recommend regular liver blood tests when using Skyrizi, especially for those with a history of liver issues. Any symptoms of liver problems, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.

Is Skyrizi or Humira better?

Determining whether Skyrizi or Humira is better depends on the person’s medical condition, history, and response to treatment. Both medications are used to treat conditions like psoriatic arthritis and plaque psoriasis, but they work in slightly different ways. Skyrizi targets interleukin-23 (IL-23), while Humira targets tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Consult a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment option.

How quickly does Skyrizi start working?

The onset of action for Skyrizi can vary from person to person. Some people may start seeing improvements in their symptoms within four weeks of starting treatment, while for others, it may take over four months. In any case, the full benefits of Skyrizi might not be seen until several months into treatment. Regular visits with a healthcare provider are recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make adjustments as needed.
