Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My father, who is 53 years old, has been prescribed Skyrizi (Risankizumab) for his psoriatic arthritis. I would like to understand if this medication is effective in treating this condition. He experiences rashes on his hands and is dealing with knee joint pain. Can Skyrizi effectively address these symptoms associated with psoriatic arthritis?

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I can understand your concern about your symptoms.

Certainly, this medication, being a monoclonal antibody, is highly effective against autoimmune diseases, and psoriatic arthritis falls under this category. Skyrizi is specifically designed to control such conditions. Therefore, I highly recommend considering it for your father's treatment.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.
