Taltz is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children six years and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet or UV light).

Some people have been hospitalized from these infections. Do not use Taltz if you have any symptoms of infection, unless your doctor tells you to. If you have a symptom after starting Taltz, call your doctor right away.
Individual results may vary. To determine if Taltz is right for you, speak with your doctor. Patient was compensated for his time. Please read the Indications and Safety Summary at the end of this video.

MOMENTS THAT MATTER
00:27-00:46
[Music continues as Eddie and his boyfriend appear on screen, preparing a meal together in the kitchen. The couple take photos of the food and record a video on a mobile phone.]
Eddie: Hey guys. So, we're getting ready for the party. We want you to bring your appetites. We want you to bring your game faces.
[The scene cuts to Eddie and his boyfriend seated on a couch in the living room. The camera pans across various photographs of the two smiling together over the years before changing to a shot of them walking and holding hands.]
Eddie: For us, spending time with friends and family is extremely important. My name is Eddie, this is my boyfriend, Nick. We’ve been together for about 14 years and we both live in Brooklyn.
I've been dealing with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for almost 20 years now. My skin would just get very dry and very red, very itchy, and not so great to look at. What people don’t understand about moderate to severe plaque psoriasis is that it's always there. It's always looming.
1:09-01:43
[Eddie and Nick finish preparing the dish and plate the food. Their friends arrive and everyone exchanges greetings and hugs. The scene alternates between the couple seated on the couch and the group of friends serving the food together.]
Eddie: And it would affect my mood, it would affect my demeanor, it would affect how much I would hang with friends, and what I would wear around friends.
Caption:
“IT WOULD AFFECT HOW MUCH I WOULD HANG WITH FRIENDS”
Nick: With friends, you never know what’s better. If people don’t bring it up, but you know that they’re thinking about it. Or if they do bring it up, because then it’s uncomfortable to have to talk about.
Eddie: I was diagnosed with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. And as the symptoms started to progress, it was a lot of confusion. I was given different creams and different over-the-counter drugs to use, and nothing was working.
01:44-01:55
[The scene continues to alternate between shots of Eddie and Nick happily entertaining their friends and speaking to the camera while seated on the couch.]
Eddie: When it started to appear on my face, I went in to see a different dermatologist who had a new suggestion of Taltz. And I said, “Let’s do it.”

BEING PRESENT
[Eddie and his friends raise a toast and play party games together. The scene continues to alternate between shots of Eddie and Nick happily entertaining their friends and speaking to the camera while seated on the couch.]
All: Cheers! (repeated)
Eddie: After my first treatment of Taltz, I didn’t know what to expect, but I started to see results way faster than I thought. And now I have 100% clearance.
Caption:
“With Taltz, up to 90% of people saw significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques at 12 weeks. 4 out of 10 achieved completely clear skin.”
Nick: Such a weight was taken off and we didn’t feel limited anymore because he’s not worried that people are staring at his skin.
Eddie: Now, when I’m with friends and family, I’m able to focus on that and that alone. I don’t have to worry about my skin, or the condition of it, or someone looking at it, or someone asking about it.
Caption:
“I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SKIN”
02:27-02:36
[Eddie and Nick sit together and look at a book. The scene then changes to the couple walking and laughing together outside.]
Eddie: The human touch, the human connection, for me it’s about being together, appreciating the people in our lives, and just knowing that we’re there for each other.
