IL-17A Inhibitors

IL-17A inhibitors are medications designed to block a specific protein called IL-17A, which plays a key role in the body's immune response. In some autoimmune conditions, like psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, IL-17A causes inflammation and tissue damage. By inhibiting this protein, these drugs help reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and control disease activity. They are typically used when other treatments haven't been effective and are administered via injections. Overall, IL-17A inhibitors target the underlying immune activity contributing to certain chronic inflammatory conditions.
