1. WHAT ILUMETRI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ilumetri contains the active substance tildrakizumab. Tildrakizumab
belongs to a group of medicines
called interleukin (IL) inhibitors.
This medicine works by blocking the activity of a protein called
IL-23, a substance found in the body
which is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses and

Ilumetri is used to treat a skin condition called plaque psoriasis, in
adults with moderate to severe disease.
Using Ilumetri will benefit you by improvements of skin clearance and
reducing your symptoms.
