What does Cosentyx (secukinumab) cost in the UK?
Drug and pricing information for Cosentyx in the UK depends on the exact product (for example, the pen vs. pre-filled syringe) and the strength, plus whether the medicine is supplied through NHS prescribing or bought privately.

Is Cosentyx free on the NHS?
For most patients, Cosentyx is supplied via NHS prescribing when it’s clinically appropriate under relevant commissioning/clinical criteria. The “cost” to the patient is then usually limited to whether you have NHS prescriptions covered (for example, whether you pay prescription charges). Private self-pay pricing is different.
How much does Cosentyx cost if paying privately in the UK?
Private cost varies widely by pharmacy and by the exact pack/strength. To quote a meaningful UK number, I’d need at least:
- the form (pen or pre-filled syringe)
- the strength (commonly 150 mg or 300 mg)
- whether you mean the starter vs maintenance dose, or a specific pack size
- your location (England/Scotland/Wales) if you want prescription-charge context
What’s the fastest way to get an accurate UK “per dose” estimate?
If you tell me your intended UK pack (e.g., 150 mg pen x 2 for a 300 mg loading dose, or 150 mg maintenance), I can help you translate that into a per-injection and per-month estimate based on the correct UK schedule—and point you to where to verify current UK pricing.
Quick check: which Cosentyx are you asking about?
Reply with the pack details you’re using (or paste the pharmacy listing), and I’ll help you interpret the UK cost and what it corresponds to in treatment dosing.
