What is plaque
psoriasis?

Plaque psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system and is the most common form of psoriasis. The overactive immune system causes skin cells to rapidly build up, forming psoriasis plaques. Why some people develop plaque psoriasis and others don’t isn’t fully known, but a family history and environmental factors are thought to play a role.

How does Taltz work for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis?

One protein in your body that plays a role in inflammation and skin plaque growth is interleukin-17A (IL-17A). Taltz is a biologic that targets IL-17A and helps to block it.*

Your plaque psoriasis treatment options

There are many plaque psoriasis medications, so it’s important to talk with your doctor to find the one that’s right for you.

Some options for treatment include:

  • Topicals: Medicine used on the skin, such as a cream or lotion
  • Phototherapy: Medically supervised artificial light or sunlight therapy, which is used consistently on the affected skin
  • Systemics: Medicine taken by mouth in liquid or pill form, or given by injection, which works throughout the body
  • Biologics: Protein-based medicines produced from living cells that target specific parts of the immune system
