Cosentyx is a medication used to treat psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. As with any medication, there are potential side effects that patients should be aware of. According to the official website of Cosentyx, some of the most common side effects include diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and nausea [2]. However, these side effects are usually mild and do not require medical attention.

Other possible side effects of Cosentyx are more serious and require immediate medical attention. These include signs of infection, such as fever, chills, and sore throat, as well as allergic reactions, such as hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat [2]. Additionally, Cosentyx may increase the risk of developing infections, including tuberculosis, and may cause liver damage in rare cases [3].

It is important for patients to discuss any concerns they may have about the potential side effects of Cosentyx with their healthcare provider. Patients should also inform their healthcare provider of any pre-existing medical conditions, such as a history of infections or liver disease, as well as any medications they are currently taking, as these may increase the risk of certain side effects [3].

In conclusion, while Cosentyx is generally well-tolerated, there are potential side effects that patients should be aware of. Patients should discuss any concerns they may have with their healthcare provider and seek medical attention if they experience any signs of infection or allergic reaction while taking Cosentyx.
