Know Key Points About the "Biologics" Taltz and Tremfya for Psoriasis
February 2018
You'll hear about the latest meds for plaque psoriasis...Taltz (TAHLTS, ixekizumab) and Tremfya (trem-FYE-ah, guselkumab).
Think of these injectables as similar to Humira, Stelara, and other "biologics" for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
If you get an Rx for Taltz or Tremfya, watch for payer messaging. These meds may require a prior authorization or may need to be filled at a specialty pharmacy...partly because they each cost about $1,650/month.
