COSENTYX in Plaque Psoriasis: Results fast. Clear skin that can last.

In clinical trials, 6 out of 10 people taking COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear at 12 weeks vs ~5% taking placebo. Approximately 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance compared to those not taking COSENTYX. 

Many who saw results at 1 year maintained them at 5 years.^†

^†After 3 years, patients and doctors were told which medication was being used. Knowing the study drug being used may affect the results.

For patients who continued on COSENTYX for 5 years, a similar percentage saw an improvement in psoriatic arthritis symptoms.^‡
