What is BIMZELX used for?
BIMZELX is an interleukin antagonist and is used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults.
How does BIMZELX work?
BIMZELX is a monoclonal antibody known as an interleukin receptor antagonist. It blocks interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F (IL-17A, IL-17F), which are proteins that are part of your immune system and are responsible for inflammation (redness and swelling). By blocking these proteins, BIMZELX calms down the immune system. As a result, it can help ease symptoms of itchy skin and skin redness due to plaque psoriasis.

The typical starting dose is two 160 mg injections under the skin every month for the first 5 doses.
