What is Cosentyx (secukinumab) injection price in the UK?
The exact out-of-pocket price for Cosentyx injections in the UK depends on how it is supplied (NHS versus private), the presentation (dose/pack size), and whether your prescription is dispensed with an NHS prescription charge or via a private route.

How much do people typically pay privately in the UK?
Private pricing varies widely because it is often tied to:
- The specific Cosentyx strength and number of pens/syringes per box
- Whether you buy through a specialty pharmacy
- Any discounts, patient access schemes, or clinician-administered procurement pricing
To give a precise figure, you usually need the exact product strength and pack size (for example, which pen/syringe format and how many doses are included).
Is Cosentyx free on the NHS?
If you are eligible under NHS prescribing, the injection itself is usually provided via the NHS and the patient cost is typically limited to the NHS prescription charge (unless you qualify for exemption). The final cost to a patient therefore depends on eligibility and current NHS prescription charges, not just the drug’s list price.
Why are there different prices for Cosentyx injections?
UK Cosentyx pricing can differ between:
- NHS supply and private supply
- Different dosing regimens (which drive different box sizes)
- Different dispensing channels (retail pharmacy vs specialty procurement)
