When considering vaccinations, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. However, based on the information available, there are no specific vaccines that have been identified as contraindicated while on Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1].
However, live vaccines are generally not recommended for individuals with weakened immune systems [2]. Cosentyx is a medication used to treat several immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [3]. By suppressing the immune system, Cosentyx may increase the risk of infection and complications from live vaccines [2].
It's important to note that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best timing for vaccinations when immunosuppressive therapy is being considered or is already in use [2].
In summary, while there are no specific vaccines contraindicated for individuals on Cosentyx, live vaccines should be avoided due to the potential increased risk of infection and complications [1][2]. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
