Ilumya (Tildrakizumab-asmn) for Psoriasis

Overview
Ilumya is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in cases where systemic therapy or phototherapy are warranted. Ilumya is also referred to by its drug name, tildrakizumab-asmn.

Ilumya is a biologic drug. Ilumya is a genetically engineered antibody, or protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize substances. Ilumya is believed to work by inhibiting interleukin (IL)-23, a chemical messenger involved in autoimmune attacks. Ilumya prevents IL-23 from signaling the immune system to attack the tissues.

Prescribing information states that Ilumya is administered as a subcutaneous injection every 12 weeks after initial loading doses.

Ilumya comes in a prefilled, single-dose syringe.
