In short
Ustekinumab is a human interleukin-12 and -23 antagonist. In the European Union, it is indicated for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who failed, have a contraindication to, or are intolerant to other systemic therapies. The European Union also approves it for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in adults and paediatric patients from 2 years of age who had inadequate response, lost response, or intolerance to conventional or biologic therapies. In the United States, it is indicated for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis in patients 6 years and older, and for moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in patients 2 years and older. The cited sources connect ustekinumab to Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and psoriasis.

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.
Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.
Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.
In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
