So, Deucravacitinib is this kind of JAK inhibitor drug. It goes after the TYK2 enzyme, the one that’s all about controlling how our immune system responds. It’s mainly used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
That’s that pesky skin condition caused by our immune system going haywire. You take this med in tablet form. Each tablet is 6 mg, by the way.
You’re supposed to take one tablet a day, just one. It’s 6 mg, remember? The tablets come in bottles with 30 tablets each. That gives you a full month’s worth of the stuff if you take it daily.
This drug works by squashing the signals of cytokines and interleukins. These are big players in the inflammation game, particularly in psoriasis. You really need to follow your doc’s orders with this stuff.
No going over the dose, okay? Side effects can range from minor, like a bit of skin irritation or a stomach ache, to more serious stuff like being more prone to infections or having tummy trouble.
