Spevigo (spesolimab) is used in adults to treat flare-ups of generalized pustular psoriasis, an inflammatory skin disease causing pustules, pus-filled lesions, to appear over large areas of skin.
The active substance in Spevigo, spesolimab, is a monoclonal antibody, a type of protein, that binds to and blocks the receptor for a protein involved in inflammation called interleukin-36 (IL-36). By preventing IL-36 from attaching to its receptor, Spevigo reduces inflammation and improves the symptoms of generalized pustular psoriasis.
