Taltz – Dosage, Side Effects, Cost, and More

How Taltz Works

In people with psoriasis or arthritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. While different parts of this system participate in these diseases, a protein named interleukin-17 A is involved in a specific process, which signals the immunity to attack joint and skin cells. Taltz contains monoclonal antibodies that can attach to these proteins and prevent them from working. As a result, the immune system will stop attacking healthy body cells. Therefore, taking Taltz can help relieve certain symptoms, such as skin plaques and swelling. [2]
