What's the recommended cosentyx injection frequency?

How often is Cosentyx (secukinumab) injected?

For most approved uses, Cosentyx is given as a subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks after the initial dosing period.

What’s the usual start (loading) schedule?

Typical initial dosing is weekly injections for 4 weeks, then the dosing switches to every 4 weeks thereafter (once weekly during the first month, then once monthly).

Does the injection schedule change by condition or dose?

It can. The recommended frequency can differ depending on:
- the specific condition being treated,
- the selected dose strength/prescribing regimen, and
- whether the patient is continuing long-term maintenance.

For the exact schedule that matches a patient’s prescription (and dose), check the clinician’s instructions or the prescribing information for that specific indication.
