Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Your dermatologist may have prescribed Sotyktu to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It's recommended for those who might benefit from systemic therapy or phototherapy.
Sotyktu acts as a TYK2 inhibitor, impacting immune responses. It works by targeting TYK2, an important component in the immune system. By stabilizing the protein into a particular shape, Sotyktu helps inhibit immune activity, although the exact workings against psoriasis are still being explored.
The typical dose is 6 mg, taken orally once a day. You can take it with or without food, following your healthcare provider's instructions carefully.
Do not crush, chew, or cut the tablets before administration.
The active ingredient in Sotyktu is deucravacitinib.
Drug-drug interactions can occur between Sotyktu and the following:
Tuberculosis (TB) screening before starting is required due to the increased risk of infectious disease while taking Sotyktu's.
