Stelara Treatment
Stelara (ustekinumab) is a biologic medication used to treat plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. It works by targeting IL-12 and IL-23 proteins, reducing inflammation and immune system overactivity.
Common symptoms include red, scaly skin plaques (in psoriasis), joint pain and stiffness (in psoriatic arthritis), abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue (in Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis).
These conditions are caused by genetic predisposition, immune system dysregulation, and environmental triggers (e.g., stress, infections).
Diagnosis involves physical examination, blood tests, skin biopsy, and, for gastrointestinal diseases, endoscopy or colonoscopy.
Stelara is administered via subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion, depending on the condition being treated.
Common prescriptions include Stelara, methotrexate, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids.
Supportive care includes moisturizing skin, avoiding triggers, staying hydrated, balanced diets, and stress management techniques.
Regular blood tests, imaging studies, adherence to medication schedules, and infection monitoring are essential.
Prevention isn’t possible, but managing triggers, consistent treatment, and healthy habits can improve outcomes.
