What's the recommended cosentyx dose for seniors?

What dose of Cosentyx (secukinumab) is recommended for older adults?

For seniors (older adults), the recommended Cosentyx dose is the same as for other adults. The prescribing information does not provide a separate geriatric dosing schedule based on age alone. [1]

Do seniors need a dose adjustment for Cosentyx?

No age-based dose adjustment is recommended for seniors. Dosing is instead based on the specific condition being treated (for example, plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis). [1]

Does kidney or liver impairment change the Cosentyx dose in seniors?

The provided information does not include a specific dose-adjustment rule for kidney or liver impairment in seniors. If a patient has significant organ impairment, clinicians typically assess risk and tolerability using the standard adult regimen and relevant clinical guidance. [1]

Is Cosentyx dosing different if the patient is also on other therapies?

The recommended Cosentyx regimen depends on the indication and the patient’s treatment plan, but age alone does not change the dosing. [1]
