Interleukin Inhibitors for Moderate to Severe Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease is a lifelong condition. You’ll have times when your symptoms flare and times when you have few or no symptoms at all. Overactivity in your immune system leads to inflammation, which damages the lining of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

How Skyrizi Works for Crohn’s Disease

People with Crohn’s disease often take medicines to help manage their condition and improve their symptoms. Some of these medicines are taken by mouth and stay inside of the digestive tract. But people with moderate or severe Crohn’s disease may not get enough benefit from these medicines. They may need to take an oral or injected medicine that works directly on the body’s immune system to reduce symptoms and stop the damage to the intestines.
