Frequently asked questions

What is SOTYKTU used for?+

How does Deucravacitinib work?+
Deucravacitinib works by selectively inhibiting Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a key mediator in cytokine signaling pathways.

This modulation helps to reduce inflammation and immune overactivity associated with plaque psoriasis.
