For adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa

hero image

COSENTYX® (secukinumab) is the first FDA-approved medicine of its kind to treat adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, or long-lasting, inflammatory skin condition. It is thought that an overactive immune system may contribute to inflammation in different areas of the body that can lead to HS symptoms, like bumps and abscesses that can hurt. Living with HS can be a daily challenge.

COSENTYX targets and blocks IL-17A, a molecule thought to play a role in the inflammation that may contribute to HS symptoms.

Real results. Real relief from HS symptoms.

COSENTYX was proven to help adults with moderate to severe HS find relief at 16 weeks:

50% REDUCTION   
At least a 50% reduction in the number of inflammatory bumps and abscesses

NO INCREASE   
No increase in the number of abscesses and/or draining tunnels

In 2 clinical trials, 41% and 43% of adults taking COSENTYX 300 mg every 4 weeks (after 5 initial weekly doses) achieved at least a 50% reduction in the number of inflammatory bumps and abscesses, with no increase in the number of abscesses and/or draining tunnels at 16 weeks vs 29% and 26% taking placebo.

Proven experience

Since 2015, over 4.3 million COSENTYX prescriptions have been filled in the United States.§
