Cosentyx (secukinumab) is a biologic drug used to treat various autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. As with any medication, it is important to be aware of any potential interactions with other drugs.
According to DrugPatentWatch [1], there are currently no known drug interactions with Cosentyx. However, it is important to note that this does not mean that interactions cannot occur. Patients should always inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements.
Drugs.com [2] provides a list of medications that may interact with Cosentyx, including live vaccines, immunosuppressive agents, and biologic drugs. Patients should discuss the risks and benefits of taking Cosentyx with their healthcare provider if they are taking any of these medications.
WebMD [3] also notes that patients should inform their healthcare provider if they have recently received or plan to receive any vaccines while taking Cosentyx. This is because Cosentyx can affect the body's ability to fight infections, and live vaccines may not be safe to receive while taking the medication.
In summary, while there are currently no known drug interactions with Cosentyx, patients should always inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking and discuss any potential risks or concerns. It is also important to avoid live vaccines while taking Cosentyx.
