FAQ: How Do You Explain The Timing of Ixekizumab's Clinical Efficacy to Patients?

Claudia Rivera Salas, DNP, a nurse practitioner at Pine Hollow Partners in East Lansing, Michigan, shares firsthand insights into the rapid efficacy of Ixekizumab in treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. One of the most common questions patients ask is how quickly they can expect relief, and the answer is simple—fast.

From the first injection, many patients begin to see significant improvement in their symptoms, including reduced inflammation, joint pain, stiffness, enthesitis, and dactylitis. By the three-month follow-up, clinical data aligns with real-world experiences, showcasing meaningful symptom relief. Claudia recounts patient stories of life-changing transformations—individuals who once hid their skin under long sleeves and struggled with daily activities due to joint pain now confidently enjoy time with their families at the beach, free from discomfort and embarrassment.

Ixekizumab’s rapid onset of action not only improves physical symptoms but also restores quality of life, allowing patients to regain mobility and confidence in ways they never thought possible.
