Music Therapy and Ixekizumab

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Ixekizumab and Music Therapy in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Music Therapy alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Music Therapy at all — not against Ixekizumab, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

Music Therapy is a treatment rather than something you take. Tell whoever provides it which medicines you use, and ask your prescriber whether it is appropriate for your health and treatment. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Music Therapy safety at a glance

Music Therapy overall Generally safe Music therapy is non-invasive and considered very safe for most people.
Pregnancy Generally safe Listening to or making music is generally safe during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Generally safe There is no known risk from music therapy while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

What Ixekizumab’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Music Therapy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ixekizumab’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you have Music Therapy and take the medicine. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Nausea

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ixekizumab. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 36,780 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ixekizumab that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Music Therapy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Music Therapy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Music Therapy has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Ixekizumab Is Prescribed For, and What Music Therapy Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Ixekizumab is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Music Therapy is a treatment: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Ixekizumab is prescribed for: Taltz (ixekizumab) is used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in patients 6 years of age and older who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. In adults, Taltz is also approved for active psoriatic arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, and active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (a form of spinal inflammatory arthritis that doesn't show clear damage on X-rays but has objective signs of inflammation). For psoriatic arthritis patients who also have moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, Taltz follows the dosing schedule for adult plaque psoriasis and may be used alone or alongside a conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD), such as methotrexate.

Music Therapy has been studied for:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis studied, not established Music Therapy has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Music Therapy for ankylosing spondylitis

    It is unclear if music therapy is beneficial for ankylosing spondylitis.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Ixekizumab on your own; if you are taking Music Therapy for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Ixekizumab page

“Echinacea, the herb people reach for at the first sniffle, is on this list for the same reason as everything else here. Ixekizumab (Taltz) treats psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by quieting an overactive part of the immune system, and echinacea is taken precisely to fire the immune system up.”

About Music Therapy

What is Music Therapy?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression and low mood
  • Pain management
  • Dementia and memory support
  • Coping during medical procedures
  • Rehabilitation after stroke or injury

Music therapy is a non-drug, evidence-informed practice where trained therapists use music to support emotional, mental, and physical health. It is generally very safe and may help with stress, mood, pain, and quality of life, though it is best used alongside (not instead of) standard medical care.

Not applicable (a therapeutic practice, not a plant or substance) · Active music-making, listening to recorded or live music, guided sessions with a trained music therapist, group or individual sessions

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Music Therapy is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Music Therapy record says about it on its own.

Music Therapy: dosing

There is no standardized "dose" for music therapy, since it is a practice rather than a product. Session length, frequency, and type are usually chosen by a certified music therapist based on your goals and needs.In studies and clinical settings, sessions often last roughly 20 to 60 minutes and may be done once or several times a week, but this varies widely. Casual listening to calming music on your own is also a safe, simple way to relax.
