From topicals, light, Enbrel, Humira, Methotrexate, Stelara, Otezla, Cosentyx...

...to Skyrizi.

The last stint of Cosentyx did not work - on for six months with little relief. The doc recommended Skyrizi - anyone familiar with this one? Any expectations/concerns?

Also, where do they make up these names?

Thanks!

That's one of the ones my Dermatologist mentioned switching me to (however Rheumatologist said no and recommended trying Taltz) anyway...

It's really new so we'll all be curious to see how it works for you. I think you may be the first from Psoriasis Club to be on it. Hope it works for you!

What's strange about the names also is that you'd think they would just shorten the "official" name. Skyrizi is risankizumab-rzaa so why not just call is Ris or Risan? These drugs are so expensive because there is probably a group of people being paid lots of money just to come up with these silly names. I will admit that Stelara was a decent name although how they came up with that from ustekinumab is anyone's guess.
