Bimzelx (bimekizumab-bkzx)

Filled with a prescription and delivered free to your door, with help on prior authorization.

Bimzelx is a biologic medicine (a medicine made from living cells). It blocks two proteins called IL-17A and IL-17F, which play a part in inflammation.

MedRx Infusion can fill Bimzelx with a prescription and deliver it free to your door.

What Bimzelx is prescribed for

Plaque psoriasis: adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (a skin condition with thick, scaly patches) who may benefit from shots or pills (systemic therapy) or light therapy (phototherapy).
Psoriatic arthritis: adults with active psoriatic arthritis (joint pain and swelling linked to psoriasis).
Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis: adults with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (spine arthritis that does not show on X-rays), with signs of inflammation that tests can find.
Ankylosing spondylitis: adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that mostly affects the spine).
Hidradenitis suppurativa: adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (painful lumps and sores in skin folds).

A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Bimzelx is right for you.
