What medications can help manage psoriatic arthritis flares while on Skyrizi treatment?

For mild to moderate symptoms during flares, your doctor may recommend:
• Over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen
• Prescription-strength NSAIDs for stronger relief
• Corticosteroid injections directly into affected joints While Skyrizi works by targeting a specific protein (IL-23) to reduce inflammation, some people may still experience flares. During these times, your doctor might recommend adding other medications temporarily while continuing Skyrizi. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications, as they need to ensure safe combinations with your Skyrizi treatment.
