Cosentyx is a prescription medicine that is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and active ankylosing spondylitis. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider, and any adjustments to the dosage should be made under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

According to the Cosentyx prescribing information [2], if a patient experiences an inadequate response to Cosentyx, a dose adjustment may be necessary. This could include an increase in the dose or a change in the dosing frequency. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider if they are not experiencing the desired results.

In addition, the prescribing information notes that patients should be monitored for signs of infection while taking Cosentyx. If a patient develops a serious infection, treatment with Cosentyx should be temporarily discontinued until the infection is resolved [2].

Finally, it is important to note that the cost of Cosentyx can be significant. According to the Cosentyx website [3], the cost of treatment can vary depending on factors such as insurance coverage and dosage. Patients should discuss the cost of treatment with their healthcare provider and insurance provider to determine the best course of action.
