Taltz How to Take

Taltz (Ixekizumab) belongs to the class of medications called immunomodulators. It is used to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It is also used to treat active Psoriatic Arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, and active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, a type of arthritis in the spine, that have not responded to other medications, or when other medications are not appropriate or tolerated.

For people with psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, or spondyloarthritis, the body overproduces a protein called interleukin-17A (IL-17A). Increased levels of this protein can result in inflammation, itching, pain, stiffness, and scaling. Taltz (Ixekizumab) recognizes this protein and blocks its action, reducing the symptoms of these diseases.

Taltz (Ixekizumab) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Taltz (Ixekizumab) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Taltz (Ixekizumab) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Taltz (Ixekizumab) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Taltz (Ixekizumab), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Taltz (Ixekizumab) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Taltz (Ixekizumab) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Taltz (Ixekizumab) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
