For patients prescribed Deucravacitinib for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, understanding the correct dosage and administration is key to maximizing its benefits and ensuring safety. As an oral, selective TYK2 inhibitor, Deucravacitinib offers a convenient treatment regimen that can be integrated seamlessly into daily life.
The standard dosage for Deucravacitinib is typically 6 milligrams (mg) taken once a day. It can be taken with or without food, offering flexibility. It is important to swallow the tablet whole; it should not be crushed, cut, or chewed to ensure the medication is absorbed correctly. Consistency in taking the medication at the same time each day is recommended to maintain stable levels in the body.
Before starting Deucravacitinib, doctors will perform essential screenings. This includes checking for infections like tuberculosis and hepatitis B or C, as the medication can affect the immune system's ability to fight off infections. Blood tests may also be required to monitor liver function and triglyceride levels, especially if there's a history of liver issues or high triglycerides. Patients should inform their doctor about all other medications they are taking, as potential drug interactions exist.
Adhering to your doctor's instructions regarding Deucravacitinib is crucial. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Doubling up on doses is not recommended. It is also important to store the medication properly, typically in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light, and out of the reach of children.
Patients are advised to report any signs of infection immediately to their healthcare provider. This includes symptoms like fever, chills, cough, or flu-like symptoms. Deucravacitinib can potentially increase the risk of certain infections and, in rare cases, other serious conditions. Open communication with your healthcare team about any concerns or side effects is vital for safe and effective treatment.
