Have you experienced good results with Taltz for your psoriasis?

Yes, many people have reported excellent results with Taltz (ixekizumab). Some members have shared they achieved close to complete skin clearance after switching to this medication.

One MyPsoriasisTeam member mentioned being "90 percent psoriasis-free for the past six years" after using Taltz. Another member achieved significant clearance after starting the medication in 2021.

What to know about Taltz:

- It's an IL-17A inhibitor that works differently than some older psoriasis medications
- The dosing typically involves loading doses every two weeks initially, then settles into a once-every-four-weeks schedule
- It now comes in a citrate-free formulation that may reduce injection site pain

Important considerations:

Like other biologics, Taltz can increase infection risk since it affects your immune system. Some people have experienced increased infections while on this treatment.

One member noted that while Taltz cleared most of their psoriasis, their genital area didn't respond as well and required additional steroid ointments.

Have you discussed Taltz with your dermatologist as a treatment option?
