What dosing schedule does Skyrizi (risankizumab) use?
Skyrizi is typically given as an injection on a set schedule: an initial dose is followed by another dose at week 4, and then doses continue every 8 weeks thereafter.
How often are Skyrizi injections after the first month?
After the first two doses (at baseline and week 4), Skyrizi is usually administered once every 8 weeks. That means patients who start treatment generally move to a “every-other-month” pattern after the first month.
What if a dose is missed or delayed?
If you miss a scheduled Skyrizi dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions for when to take the next one. Your clinician may adjust timing to keep you on the 4-week start and then the 8-week maintenance cadence as closely as possible.
Is the schedule different for Crohn’s disease vs other conditions?
Skyrizi’s dosing can vary by the specific condition being treated. If you tell me the condition (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, etc.), I can help interpret the dosing pattern for that use case based on the intended regimen.
Where can I verify the official Skyrizi dosing instructions?
