Ixekizumab - What is it for

Ixekizumab is a biologic medication which works by blocking the activity of a protein called interleukin (IL) 17A.
IL-17A levels are increased in diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. This medication helps to reduce the activity of the immune system and the symptoms of the diseases. 
Ixekizumab does not work immediately and it may take several weeks before you notice any improvement in symptoms.
