Why It’s the Best:

Stelara is a monoclonal antibody used to treat autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. It works by targeting interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, proteins involved in inflammatory processes. Its long-lasting effects and ability to manage symptoms of severe autoimmune conditions with fewer side effects compared to other treatments have made Stelara a preferred option for many patients.
