SOLMARYE, SOTYKTU patient
Solmarye is a real patient on SOTYKTU and was compensated for her time. Your results may vary.
Solmarye has lived for years with plaque psoriasis that began on her scalp and eventually affected her whole body. Her daughters would ask about it often, and while she tried to put on a brave face for them, she was struggling inside. “I stayed positive for my husband and my daughters. I looked cheerful, but on the inside I was sad because I didn’t want to be in that condition,” she said.
Under the care of her dermatologist, Solmarye tried several different treatments. “But my psoriasis kept coming back and continued to spread. I knew I needed to try something else.”
She was then prescribed SOTYKTU, and with ongoing treatment she began to see visible improvements. When Solmarye saw her dermatologist for a check-up, her doctor was extremely pleased with the progress she had made.
Today, Solmarye wears what she wants without worrying about covering up. And she doesn’t hesitate to put herself out there, appearing regularly on her family’s YouTube channel in front of more than 1,000 subscribers. “I feel so happy. I look at myself every day and think, ‘Wow, I can see a real difference,’” she said.
In one study, a majority of people taking SOTYKTU saw 75% CLEARER SKIN at Week 16 vs those taking placebo (53% vs 9%).
John’s life was turned upside down when he first noticed a rash and flakiness on his elbow and knee five years ago. He tried to treat it with a cream, but it wasn’t helping him enough. His wife urged him to see a doctor.
His dermatologist examined his skin and said, “You’ve got psoriasis.”
Despite initial treatments, his moderate to severe plaque psoriasis symptoms spread to other parts of his body: down his leg, up his back, and around his torso. The plaques—along with his embarrassment—became so intense he couldn’t go out, wear shorts, or even go swimming. “I was leaving skin all over the place. It’s like it was snowing skin.”
Eventually, John realized he had to speak up. “I told my doctor exactly what I was dealing with—how bad it had gotten, how it was affecting my life,” he said. It wasn’t easy to talk about, but that honesty opened the door to a treatment that finally brought him real progress. His dermatologist listened, and together they decided to try SOTYKTU, a once-daily pill that works from inside the body.
Though John was initially hesitant about taking medication while traveling internationally for work—which he often does—he knew he could take SOTYKTU with him wherever he went.
After about four months on SOTYKTU, almost all of John’s flaking had stopped.
For John, SOTYKTU made all the difference. “I’ve gone from keeping to myself to being able to do things,” he said. “My psoriasis isn’t 100% gone, but it’s to the point where in the summer I can go swimming. I can wear shorts.”
SOTYKTU fits into his work travel plans. “I take it in the morning. It’s just part of my normal routine.”
In one study, half of people taking SOTYKTU saw clear or almost clear skin at Week 16 vs 9% taking placebo.
Alan spent years hiding his skin: long sleeves in the Georgia heat, hiking boots in summer, even a blanket draped over his legs at Bible study to cover as much as possible.
His plaque psoriasis first appeared as dry patches on his legs, then spread to his arms—scabbing, bleeding, and scaling. It made him feel like an outsider, and he usually avoided the pool and beach altogether.
After trying several treatments that weren’t right for him, Alan knew it was time for a change. He talked to his dermatologist about the psoriasis symptoms he was still seeing and asked to explore new options. That’s when he was prescribed SOTYKTU.
Alan liked that SOTYKTU treated his plaque psoriasis from the inside. Over time, he began to notice a difference. “One day I looked in the mirror and just went ‘Wow.’ The redness was gone. The flaking was gone. I saw clearer skin.”
He’s back to golfing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors—in shorts and short sleeves. He’s more than happy to talk about his clearer skin…and the freedom that comes with it.
“I still see clearer skin when I look in the mirror. That never gets old,” he said. “I feel more like myself. SOTYKTU gave me that. I tell everyone I can…this medication made a real difference for me.”
In one study, a majority of people taking SOTYKTU saw 75% CLEARER SKIN at Week 16 vs those taking placebo (53% vs 9%).
In the same study, 10% of people saw 100% CLEAR SKIN at Week 16 compared to 1% taking placebo.
SOTYKTU fits my lifestyle. It’s just one pill once a day, any time of day.
