The medication is administered via subcutaneous injection, usually once every few weeks, as directed by a physician. Guselkumabum has shown high efficacy in reducing skin lesions and joint symptoms.
Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, and injection site reactions. It is important for patients to be monitored for signs of infections or other complications.
Guselkumabum provides a modern and effective option for patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, helping to improve their quality of life.
