So, Deucravacitinib is this thing that helps manage moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It does this by targeting something called TYK2 to tweak the immune system. The tablets are these 6 mg things, and they’ve got a film coating on them.
You’re supposed to take 6 mg of it once a day. The tablets come in bottles with 30 in each. You really need to stick with the 6 mg dose each day for it to work for your plaque psoriasis.
It works by zeroing in on this protein called TYK2, which is a big deal in the immune system. By keeping this protein in check, the drug helps calm down that overreactive immune system linked to psoriasis. The film coating makes the tablets easier on your stomach and less likely to cause tummy trouble, so it’s more comfortable for patients.
