are medicines made from living cells that target specific parts of the immune system to reduce psoriatic arthritis inflammation. Some options are given via intravenous (IV) infusion.
Biologics
Back
Your doctor may recommend an IV biologic based on symptoms and how well previous therapies have worked. They’ll also consider convenience, cost, and personal preferences.
IV biologics are given through a small tube placed in a vein in your arm during an infusion appointment at a clinic or hospital.
The medicine travels through the bloodstream to block specific immune signals that cause inflammation, easing symptoms and slowing disease progression.
Many people who take IV biologics experience improvements in joint pain, stiffness, and swelling within 4 to 12 weeks, though response times can vary.
