What is the Skyrizi maintenance dose for Crohn’s disease?
Skyrizi (risankizumab) maintenance dosing is based on the indication and your treatment schedule.
For ulcerative colitis (UC), the maintenance regimen is:
- 160 mg as induction, then 180 mg every 8 weeks for maintenance [1].
What is the Skyrizi maintenance dose for plaque psoriasis?
For plaque psoriasis, the maintenance regimen is:
- 150 mg (administered as subcutaneous injection) every 12 weeks after the initial dosing period [2].
How are Skyrizi doses scheduled after induction?
Skyrizi dosing typically follows an induction phase first, then a set maintenance interval afterward. The exact maintenance interval depends on the condition (for example, every 8 weeks in UC vs every 12 weeks in plaque psoriasis) [1][2].
What happens if you miss a Skyrizi maintenance dose?
If a maintenance dose is missed, the next step depends on how long ago the dose was due and the prescribing plan your clinician set. Follow your prescriber’s instructions for timing and restarting, since the safe schedule can vary by indication.
Is the maintenance dose the same for all patients?
Maintenance dose and timing can differ based on:
- the disease being treated
- the completed induction regimen
- other clinical factors your prescriber considers
Your clinician’s prescription is the source of truth for your exact maintenance schedule.
