Risankizumab (Skyrizi) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health

Skyrizi (Risankizumab)IL-23 monoclonal antibody (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's, UC)

Verdict at Tovani Health

Fully compatible; same IL-23 framework as guselkumab.

Risankizumab and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. Like guselkumab, targets the p19 subunit of IL-23 with the same clean profile. Used for plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Subcutaneous injection every 12 weeks after loading — one of the longest dosing intervals in the biologic space.

If you take Skyrizi regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
