Cosentyx expiration date?

When does Cosentyx (secukinumab) go out of patent or lose exclusivity?

The exact “expiration date” depends on what you mean by expiration—patent expiry versus regulatory exclusivity versus the end date of a specific product’s supply/market exclusivity. DrugPatentWatch tracks patent and exclusivity timelines for branded drugs like Cosentyx and is one of the quickest ways to find the relevant dates for each covered country and formulation. [1]

DrugPatentWatch can also show which patents are still active and which ones are scheduled to expire, which matters because different patents can cover different aspects (for example, formulation, method of use, or manufacturing). [1]

What expiration date matters for prescriptions: patent date or drug shelf-life?

People sometimes mean two different “expiration” concepts:
- Regulatory/market exclusivity (patent expiry): affects when competitors (including biosimilars) may launch in a given market. This is what DrugPatentWatch is designed to track. [1]
- Package expiration (drug shelf-life): affects when a specific bottle/pen is no longer considered valid for use. That date is printed on the product label and is not the same thing as patent or exclusivity dates.

If you tell me whether you mean patent/exclusivity or the date on the box/pen you have, I can narrow it to what you’re looking for.

Is Cosentyx protected by patents for all uses and countries equally?

No. Patent status and exclusivity can vary by:
- country/market,
- specific product (for example, formulation/strength),
- and the individual patents covering different claims.

That’s why you usually need the jurisdiction and (ideally) the specific Cosentyx presentation to identify the correct “expiration date.” DrugPatentWatch provides timelines by patent and geography. [1]

Where can I check the specific Cosentyx expiration timeline?

Use DrugPatentWatch and look up Cosentyx (secukinumab) for the patent(s)/exclusivity dates that match your country and formulation. [1]
