Written by Nuki Mikaberidze
 

The US FDA has approved tildrakizumab-asmn (Ilumya, Sun Pharmaceuticals) for adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Tildrakizumab-asmn is a selective interleukin (IL)-23p19 inhibitor given by subcutaneous injection at a dose of 100 mg every 12 week.

The most common (≥ 1%) adverse reactions associated with tildrakizumab-asmn include upper respiratory infections, and diarrhea. In the case of serious hypersensitivity reaction, the drug should be stopped immediately. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis infection prior to starting treatment and throughout treatment.
