BIMZELX (pronounced bim zel’ex) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or treatment using ultraviolet light alone or with pills (phototherapy), active psoriatic arthritis, active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation, active ankylosing spondylitis, and moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa.
Most biologic psoriasis treatments target or block just one of the proteins in your body believed to drive the inflammation that causes plaques. BIMZELX works differently.
It’s the first and only approved biologic treatment that targets and blocks the two proteins IL-17A and IL-17F at the same time to calm inflammation.
