YESINTEK® Infusion Therapy

About YESTINTEK® Therapy

YESINTEK® is a medication that helps treat certain inflammatory conditions by targeting the root cause of inflammation in your body. Your immune system normally uses proteins called interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 to trigger inflammation, but sometimes this process goes into overdrive and causes chronic inflammation that damages healthy tissue. YESINTEK® works by blocking the activity of IL-12 and IL-23, which reduces inflammation, pain, swelling, and dermatalogical symptoms. It can be given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous) or through your vein (intravenous) depending on your condition.
