Type of Arthritis: Psoriatic Arthritis
Guselkumab
Guselkumab is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA), by blocking inflammatory protein interleukin-23 (IL-23). It can help suppress an overactive immune system, but can also increase your risk for certain infections.
Golimumab
Golimumab is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Golimumab treats arthritis by binding to tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and preventing it from causing inflammation. It can help suppress an overactive immune system, but can also increase your risk for certain infections.
Etanercept
Etanercept is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), by binding to tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and preventing it from causing inflammation. Etanercept can help suppress an overactive immune system but can also increase your risk of certain infections. There are biosimilar versions of etanercept, which. . .
Certolizumab Pegol
Certolizumab is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by blocking tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and preventing it from causing inflammation. Certolizumab suppresses the body’s immune system but can also increase your risk of certain infections.
Bimekizumab
Bimekizumab is used to treat inflammatory conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and psoriasis. It works by binding to an inflammatory cytokine called IL-17A and IL-17F to reduce inflammation. Since it affects the immune system, it can also increase the risk of infections.
Apremilast
Apremilast is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Apremilast blocks phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) which is a molecule that triggers many different inflammatory processes. Apremilast may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Speak to a healthcare provider if these side effects are intolerable.
Adalimumab
Adalimumab is used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It works by blocking TNF-α which triggers inflammation. It can help suppress an overactive immune system but can also increase your risk of infections. There are biosimilar versions of adalimumab, which are highly similar versions. . .
Abatacept
Abatacept is a medication that treats conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis by blocking a type of immune cell called a T-cell from damaging your joints. It can help suppress an overactive immune system, but can also increase your risk for certain infections.
