Taking SILIQ
Success Stories
FAQs
Living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis tests your strength and tries your patience. The typical treatment plan goes something like this — if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Well, if trying again and again is getting you nowhere, you still have a reason to believe. Many others like you who weren't seeing the results they wanted with other psoriasis injections (biologics) were able to reach 100% clear skin with SILIQ.
A medical study with 39 patients
After 4 months taking SILIQ, patients who had previously failed to become 75% clear on Cosentyx or Taltz achieved significant improvement.
Data from 124 people
After 1 year taking SILIQ, many patients whose psoriasis remained moderate after taking Stelara saw significant results.
Data from 150 people
After 3 months taking SILIQ, many patients who had previously tried Humira, Remicade, or Enbrel without success were rescued from the loop of treatment failure.
Everyone is different, but many people who took part in medical studies became 100% clear.
at 3 months with SILIQ In the same study, only 1 of every 200 people were clear at 3 months when treated with placebo.
at 1 year and 2 years with SILIQ In the same study, no one was clear at 1 year when treated with placebo.
Almost 9 of 10 people saw half of their psoriasis clear in the first month of treatment with SILIQ. On average, people were about 95% clear at 3 months and beyond.*
*Patients were evaluated for nearly 4 years in a medical study and had about 95% average clearance until the study ended.
SILIQ fights plaque psoriasis by stopping all 4 cytokines (proteins) in the IL-17 family. Unlike SILIQ, other IL-17 psoriasis injections (biologics) only target 1 protein from this group and have no effect on the other 3. See how SILIQ works for yourself by watching the video below.
