What is the usual Skyrizi (risankizumab) dosing schedule?
For adults, Skyrizi is given as an injection (subcutaneous “under the skin”) with a schedule that starts with a loading phase, then moves to maintenance dosing. The standard schedule is:
- Weeks 0 and 4: 150 mg subcutaneous injection
- Then every 12 weeks: 150 mg subcutaneous injection thereafter
How often do you take Skyrizi after the first doses?
After the initial doses at week 0 and week 4, the maintenance schedule is every 12 weeks (about every 3 months) with 150 mg.
Does the dosing schedule change for different conditions?
The provided dosing information here is the common adult regimen for Skyrizi. If you are using Skyrizi for a specific indication (for example, plaque psoriasis vs. psoriatic arthritis vs. Crohn’s disease), the exact timing can differ by condition and prescribing label version. Confirm the schedule with your prescribing clinician or your medication guide.
What happens if a dose is missed?
Because missed-dose timing can depend on how far along you are in the schedule (week 0/4 loading vs. every-12-week maintenance), the safest approach is to follow the instructions from your prescriber or the package information for missed doses.
