Medical uses:

Skyrizi is an interleukin-23 antagonist used to treat:

• Moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (Ps) in adults eligible for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
• Active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in adults.
• Moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD) in adults.

Recommended Dosage:

• Plaque Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Administer 150 mg by subcutaneous injection at Week 0, Week 4, and then every 12 weeks. Skyrizi can be used alone or with non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
• Crohn’s Disease: For induction, administer 600 mg by intravenous infusion over at least one hour at Week 0, Week 4, and Week 8. For maintenance, administer 360 mg by subcutaneous injection at Week 12, and then every 8 weeks.

Before starting therapy with Risankizumab-rzaa injection, check liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Avoid injecting into areas where the skin is tender, red, bruised, hardened, or affected by psoriasis. Only a healthcare professional or caregiver should administer the injection in the upper, outer arm.

If a dose is missed, administer it as soon as possible and then continue with the regular dosing schedule.

Warnings & Precautions:

• Hypersensitivity: Do not use risankizumab-rzaa in patients with a known history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to the drug or its excipients.
• Infection Risk: Skyrizi may increase the risk of infections. Do not start treatment in patients with any significant active infection until it is resolved or adequately treated. If an infection develops or does not respond to standard therapy, closely monitor the patient and discontinue Skyrizi until the infection is resolved.
• Tuberculosis (TB): Screen patients for TB before starting Skyrizi 150 mg. Monitor for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment. Do not administer Skyrizi to patients with active TB.
• Vaccinations: Avoid live vaccines in patients receiving Risankizumab-rzaa. Immune-modulating drugs may increase the risk of infection from live vaccines. Ensure all age-appropriate vaccinations are completed according to current guidelines before starting therapy.
• Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions: Severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur with Skyrizi 75 mg or other dosages. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue the drug and initiate appropriate treatment immediately.
• Overdose Management: In case of overdose, monitor the patient for signs and symptoms of adverse effects and provide appropriate symptomatic treatment promptly.
