ustekinumab usage and dosage

In plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, ustekinumab is injected under the skin. The usual dose for adults is 45 mg, while the dose for children with plaque psoriasis depends on the patient's weight. In patients weighing more than 100 kg, the psoriasis dose of 90 mg may also be considered for psoriatic arthritis. After the first injection, another injection will be given 4 weeks later, and then every 12 weeks. In Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, treatment begins with an infusion (infusion) of ustekinumab into a vein for at least 1 hour. Dosage is based on patient weight. A dose of 90 mg was administered subcutaneously 8 weeks after the first infusion. Then, patients continue to receive subcutaneous injections of ustekinumab every 8 or 12 weeks, depending on the treatment effect.
