Active Ingredient: Ixekizumab
Ixekizumab, alone or in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapies.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Subcutaneous
80 - 160 mg
From 80 To 160 mg once every 28 day(s)
160 mg
80 mg
The recommended dose is 160 mg by subcutaneous injection at Week 0, followed by 80 mg every 4 weeks thereafter. For psoriatic arthritis patients with concomitant moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, the recommended dosing regimen is the same as for plaque psoriasis.
Consideration should be given to discontinuing treatment in patients who have shown no response after 16 to 20 weeks of treatment. Some patients with initially partial response may subsequently improve with continued treatment beyond 20 weeks.
If possible, areas of the skin that show psoriasis should be avoided as injection sites.
