IL-23 inhibitors

IL-23 inhibitors are a class of medications that target a specific protein called interleukin-23 (IL-23), which plays a key role in the immune system's inflammatory response. By blocking IL-23, these drugs help reduce inflammation associated with illnesses like psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. They work by calming overactive immune activity, leading to improved skin symptoms and joint health. IL-23 inhibitors are typically administered as injections and are prescribed when other treatments haven't provided sufficient relief. They are considered effective options for managing chronic inflammatory conditions driven by immune system overactivity.
