Are there any cosentyx dosage adjustments for age?

Short answer: No. There are no dose adjustments for Cosentyx (secukinumab) based solely on age in the labeling.

What drives the dose instead:
- The indication (e.g., plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis).
- In many cases, dosing is also related to body weight, especially in adults.

Notes by group:
- Adults: Dosing is set by indication and sometimes weight; there isn’t a separate “older vs younger adult” adjustment.
- Elderly: No age-based adjustment is specifically recommended, but as with all immunomodulators, monitor for infections and other safety concerns.
- Pediatric use: There are pediatric dosing tables that are weight-based for certain approved indications (e.g., plaque psoriasis in children 6 years and older). The dosing for children is not the same as adults and is not solely age-based but weight-based and indication-specific.

If you’d like, tell me the exact Cosentyx indication and the patient’s age and weight, and I’ll summarize the approved dosing for that scenario. Alternatively, I can point you to the specific dosing table in the prescribing information.
