How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Bimzelx). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Bimekizumab-bkzx is a humanized immunoglobulin IgG1/ κ monoclonal antibody with two identical antigen binding regions that selectively bind to human interleukin 17A (IL-17A), interleukin 17F (IL-17F), and interleukin 17-AF cytokines, and inhibits their interaction with the IL-17 receptor complex.

IL-17A and IL-17F are naturally occurring cytokines that are involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
