Yesintek is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
Yesintek is a fusion protein that binds to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a key inflammatory cytokine. By blocking TNF activity, it helps reduce the inflammation and skin cell overproduction characteristic of psoriasis.
Yesintek is administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include infections, injection site reactions, and upper respiratory symptoms. Patients should be monitored for signs of infection and malignancy during treatment. It may interact with other immunosuppressants or biologic therapies.
