Watch Cosentyx Dosing Closely

May 2015

Cosentyx (koe-SEN-tix, secukinumab) is a new injectable med for treating psoriasis in adults.

Think of Cosentyx as an alternative to other injectable "biologics" such as Humira, Enbrel, or Stelara.

These injectables seem to work better than oral psoriasis meds...have fewer contraindications...and are often better tolerated.
