Benefits

Stelara (Ustekinumab) 90mg Injection is a monoclonal antibody used to treat inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. It works by targeting interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23), key proteins involved in immune system overactivation and chronic inflammation. By blocking these cytokines, Stelara helps reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and prevent disease progression. In Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, it promotes intestinal healing and improves long-term disease control, while in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, it helps reduce skin lesions and joint pain. With less frequent dosing compared to other biologics, Stelara provides a convenient and effective treatment option for patients with moderate to severe inflammatory diseases.
