Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is Taltz. It works by blocking a small part of the immune system. This makes it helpful for treating conditions with a disorder of the immune system, like Plaque Psoriasis. 

Taltz is given as an injection under your skin. Before giving a dose at home, you should read the 'Instructions for Use'. You should also show your health care provider that you know how to give a dose. If you still have questions, your doctor or pharmacist can help. 

Common side effects include redness or pain at the injection site. Others include nausea and the common cold. These are normal if they are mild, and should go away. Some people report getting skin infections from a common fungus, such as ringworm, athlete's foot or jock itch. These infections are usually easy to treat. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Because this medicine blocks part of the immune system, it can lower your ability to fight infections. You should tell your doctor right away if you think you have an infection. This includes small infections, like open cuts, to whole body infections, like the flu. 

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects could occur. You should read the 'Medication Guide' for more information. To help keep this medicine safe for you, your doctor will follow you closely.

You should check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medicines or getting vaccines. 

Women should talk to their doctors before becoming pregnant or breastfeeding.  

Also, remember to store this medicine in the refrigerator.
