How often do you take skyrizi?

How often is Skyrizi usually taken?

Skyrizi (risankizumab) is typically dosed as an injection once every 4 weeks at the start, then every 8 weeks after that.

What does the dosing schedule look like in practice?

Most patients follow this pattern:
- Weeks 0 and 4: injections are given
- Then starting at week 8: injections are given every 8 weeks

If you miss a dose, what should you do?

Missed-dose instructions depend on where you are in the dosing cycle. Contact your prescriber or pharmacist for the correct timing based on your last injection date.

Does the schedule differ by condition?

Dosing is based on the specific indication (for example, psoriasis vs. other approved uses) and your clinician’s plan, so your prescription schedule is the most reliable source.

What form are you using (pen vs. prefilled syringe), and does that change frequency?

The injection type (pen or prefilled syringe) doesn’t usually change how often you take Skyrizi; it mainly changes how the dose is administered.

If you tell me which condition you’re taking Skyrizi for and whether you’re using the pen or prefilled syringe, I can map your schedule more precisely.
