Risankizumab, sold under the brand name Skyrizi, is a medication used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.[2] Other uses may include generalized pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.[6]
Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infection, headache, tiredness, and pain at the site of injection.[4][5] It also increases the risk of other infections.[5] While there is no evidence of harm in pregnancy, such use has not been well studied.[7] It is a monoclonal antibody that attaches to and blocks interleukin 23A (IL-23A).[4][8]
Risankizumab was approved for medical use in the United States in 2019.[5][4] In the United States it costs about 17,800 USD per dose as of 2021.[9] In the United Kingdom this amount costs the NHS about £3,300.[10]
