Mirikizumab, sold under the brand name Omvoh, is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.[5] It is designed to attach to interleukin-23 (IL-23) and block its activity.[5]

The most common side effects include upper respiratory tract infections (nose and throat infections), headache, rash and reactions at the site of injection (when given by injection under the skin).[5]

Mirikizumab was approved for medical use in the European Union in May 2023,[5] and in the United States in October 2023.[7][8][9]
