Cosentyx How to Take

Cosentyx (Secukinumab) belongs to the class of medications called biological response modifiers ("biologics").

Cosentyx (Secukinumab) is used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults whose specialists have determined that systemic or phototherapy may be beneficial. It is also used to treat active Psoriatic Arthritis and active ankylosing spondylitis in adults who have not had an adequate response to other treatments.

For people with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, the body overproduces a protein called interleukin-17A (IL-17A). Cosentyx (Secukinumab) recognizes this protein and blocks the action of IL-17A, reducing the symptoms of these conditions.

Cosentyx (Secukinumab) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Cosentyx (Secukinumab) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Cosentyx (Secukinumab) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Cosentyx (Secukinumab) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Cosentyx (Secukinumab), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Cosentyx (Secukinumab) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Cosentyx (Secukinumab) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Cosentyx (Secukinumab) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
