How long can Cosentyx (secukinumab) stay at room temperature?

Cosentyx should not be kept at room temperature for an extended period. The prescribing information directs that, once removed from refrigeration, Cosentyx can be kept at controlled room temperature for up to 30 days before use, and it should be protected from light.

What counts as “room temperature,” and does it matter if you refrigerate again?

The storage guidance uses a specific “room temperature” range for the product label. If Cosentyx is brought to that room temperature range for up to the allowed limit (30 days), it can still be used afterward according to the label instructions. However, you should follow the label about whether returning it to refrigeration is permitted after room-temperature storage.

What should you do if Cosentyx has been out longer than the allowed time?

If Cosentyx has been kept at room temperature longer than the labeled allowance, you should not assume it is still usable. In that situation, contact your pharmacist or prescriber for next steps and to avoid administering a potentially compromised dose.

Where can you verify the exact storage language for your product type?

Storage limits can differ slightly by presentation (for example, prefilled syringe vs. Sensoready pen vs. infusion). Check the specific package insert for the exact wording tied to your product.
