Guselkumab Injection

This medication is used to treat plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guselkumab belongs to a class of drugs known as monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking a certain natural substance in your body (interleukin-23) that may cause inflammation and swelling. Guselkumab can help lessen the red, scaly, itchy patches of skin caused by plaque psoriasis and lessen the pain and swelling in the joints caused by psoriatic arthritis.

Guselkumab is indicated to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis in adults. Guselkumab is provided as a subcutaneous injection of 100 mg given every eight weeks (except for the second dose, which is given four weeks after the first dose).Guselkumab injection is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body) in adults whose psoriasis is too severe to be treated by topical medications alone. It is also used alone or in combination with other medications to treat psoriatic arthritis (a condition that causes joint pain and swelling and scales on the skin) in adults. Guselkumab injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by stopping the action of certain cells in the body that cause the symptoms of psoriasis.
