Starting Treatment With The SKYRIZI On-Body Injector (OBI)

Understanding your SKYRIZI OBI treatment schedule

Starter Doses

You and your doctor have decided that you’ll use the SKYRIZI On-Body Injector (OBI) for treatment. Before your first starter dose, you'll receive training from your healthcare provider or from a Skyrizi Complete Ambassador on how to self-inject your SKYRIZI treatment using the OBI. You’ll self-inject each starter dose (2 injections per dose) either at home or in your doctor’s office according to the schedule below.

Start treatment: 2 on-body injectors, 2 prefilled cartridges, in weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8.

Maintenance Doses

After your starter doses are complete, you’ll continue your treatment with a single OBI self-injection every 8 weeks starting at week 12, as prescribed by your doctor.

Maintain treatment: 1 on-body injector, 1 prefilled cartridge, every 8 weeks in weeks 12, 20, 28, and 36.

Here’s what will happen next:
