How often do I need to inject Taltz for psoriatic arthritis?

Taltz is given by injection under the skin. For psoriatic arthritis the standard schedule starts with a loading dose of 160 mg once, followed by 80 mg every four weeks.

Do I need to keep the every-four-weeks schedule long term?

Yes. Once the loading dose is complete, patients continue the 80 mg injection every four weeks for as long as the drug is working and tolerated.

What happens if I miss an injection or want to change the schedule?

Missing a dose should be taken as soon as remembered, then the regular four-week spacing resumes from that point. Any change to the schedule requires guidance from the prescribing doctor.

How does the psoriatic arthritis schedule compare with the psoriasis schedule?

The psoriasis schedule uses the same 160 mg loading dose and 80 mg maintenance, so the frequency is identical for both conditions.

Who makes Taltz and where can I find patent or exclusivity details?
