Cosentyx launch date?

When was Cosentyx (secukinumab) first launched?

Cosentyx (secukinumab) was first launched in the United States in 2016. The FDA approved Cosentyx in January 2015, and it reached the market in 2016.

Was Cosentyx approved in 2015, so why do people say 2016?

People often mix up approval date versus market launch date. FDA approval came in 2015, but commercial availability is commonly reported as 2016, which is what “launch date” typically refers to for patients and prescribers.

Has Cosentyx’s launch date changed by country?

Yes. Biologics often have different timelines across regions (U.S., EU, and other markets), so “launch date” can vary depending on where you’re asking about.
