How long should i wait to receive live vaccines after cosentyx?



Based on the information provided, I can provide an answer regarding the timing of live vaccines after taking Cosentyx.

Cosentyx, also known as secukinumab, is a biologic medication used to treat various conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1][2]. The drug works by targeting a specific protein in the body that contributes to inflammation [1].

Regarding live vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends waiting at least 4 weeks after receiving a live vaccine before starting biologic therapy [3]. However, the information available does not specifically address how long to wait after taking Cosentyx before receiving a live vaccine [2][3].

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice on this matter, as they can consider factors such as the patient's health status, the specific vaccine, and the reason for taking Cosentyx [3]. It is also advisable to discuss any concerns or questions with the healthcare provider [2].

In summary, while the CDC recommends waiting at least 4 weeks after receiving a live vaccine before starting biologic therapy, there is no specific guidance on how long to wait after taking Cosentyx before receiving a live vaccine. Consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
