Taltz (ixekizumab) injection

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).

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.

GETTING IN TOUCH

00:21-00:43

[Music continues and narration begins. At dawn, Perry walks up to a trailer with a cup in his hand and opens the door of the trailer. He starts working in his woodshop. Next scene shows Perry and his wife, Helen, as they sit on a bench outside. They walk through a forest with their dog. The camera then zooms in on Perry. This is followed by a quick shot of Perry working with his tools.]

Perry: My name is Perry. I am a South Texas rancher and successful cabinet maker. This is my lovely wife, Helen. She is the rock.

Helen: He's the sweetest man that I know.

Perry: I have been dealing with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis my entire life. I was covered head to toe. Literally head to toe, everywhere.

Caption:

“I WAS COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE”

00:44-01:12

[The camera pans to Perry and Helen as they continue sitting on a bench outside. The following scenes show back and forth shots of the couple walking through a forest, sitting on the bench, and Perry working on the farm.]

Helen: He would go to bed at night and he would itch and itch and itch. He was just miserable.

Perry: It's a fire you can't put out. But I used to have a spot right here on the back of my shoulder. Well, it made it almost impossible to grab a 50 pound bag and rest it there. Anything that touched it would just end up irritating the plaques.

Helen: The friction of blue jeans, I mean just rubbed it.

Perry: Oh, it was horrible. It's horrible.

Caption:

“IT’S A FIRE YOU CAN’T PUT OUT”

01:13-01:35

[Perry and Helen are standing and fishing. He’s wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt. The camera zooms in on his hands and legs and then pans to the couple sitting on the bench again. This is followed by a close-up shot of Perry as he continues to narrate.]

Perry: Fishing’s a big part of our life. I love the sun. I love the saltwater. It used to be, I had to wear long sleeves and a pair of pants. And you're out there. It’s 105 degrees. It was a necessary evil. You had to wear them to cover the plaques so people didn't see it. But then again, you're turning around and you're aggravating it and just making it worse. It's a very, very difficult thing to live with.

Caption:

“IT WAS A NECESSARY EVIL”

01:36-02:00

[Perry is wearing a cap and his sunglasses, sitting with his hands on his knees while the narration continues. The camera then cuts to Perry and Helen sitting on the bench.]

Perry: You want to be a recluse. You don't want to be a spectacle. You know how people can be, if you're in a restaurant somebody’s sitting there eyeballing you because there's no way to hide it.

Helen: It was easier for us to just stay secluded.

Perry: And it really wasn't fair to her. We had tried some other medications, none of which really paid off and helped, which led me to Taltz.

Caption:

“YOU DON’T WANT TO BE A SPECTACLE”

02:01-02:19

[The camera shifts to Perry working in his workshop. A close-up captures him brushing sawdust off the wood with his hands, then zooms in on his focused expression as he meticulously works. The scene transitions to Perry and his wife strolling through the woods.]

Helen: We saw it on a commercial. I did some research on it, and then we called our doctor.

Perry: With Taltz, my skin cleared quickly and stayed clear for a long time. It went from scaly to pink to zero. And then all of a sudden you just got your normal skin.

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.

The scene then shifts to them sitting on a bench, talking to the camera. Next, it moves to Perry in his workshop before cutting back to him and Helen walking through the forest holding hands. The camera then shows Perry holding a rusted iron rod and finally cuts to both of them preparing for fishing.]

Perry: The Taltz Together program that they have made that affordable for us. It was a big time game changer. I'm sure she likes the fact that I don't have the plaques.

Helen: He takes me out.

Perry: Yep. yep.

Helen: He's changed to shorter hair. Used to be long to cover up.

Perry: It's liberating to not have to hide anymore. To be able to just show your skin and not worry about it.

Perry: I have lots of shorts. Lots of shorts. Taltz was my solution. ‘Cause it’s the only one that ever helped me. If I see somebody else that has it, which I do, quite regularly, you know, I'll actually tell them, “I had exactly what you have, or worse.”
