COSENTYX targets more than joint pain. It treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), like joint pain and tenderness† and back pain.‡ It also helps clear skin, and helps stop further joint damage.§,*,**

Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms

†In a clinical trial of adults taking 300 mg at 16 weeks.   
‡In a clinical trial of adults taking COSENTYX 300 mg as their first biologic at 12 weeks.   
§Based on data from X-rays of the hands and feet at 6 months.  
*Administered subcutaneously (under your skin)  
**All results shown in clinical trials using subcutaneous (SC) administration (injection under the skin). The FDA approval of the intravenous (IV) administration (injected into a vein) of COSENTYX is based on data showing that the amount of the medication in your body after it is given directly through IV was within the range that would be seen when given as SC.

COSENTYX WORKS FAST FOR RESULTS THAT CAN LAST

3 WKS

COSENTYX can start working in as little as 3 weeks.

Up to 60% of adults taking COSENTYX 150 mg in a clinical trial saw at least a 20% improvement in PsA symptoms at 16 weeks versus 18% of adults taking placebo.

5 YRS

COSENTYX has been proven to last.

For adults who continued on COSENTYX for 5 years, a similar percentage saw an improvement in PsA symptoms. In this study, the medication being used was revealed to doctors and adults after 1 year, which may affect the results.

"I realized COSENTYX was working for me when I was missing out on less and less."

COSENTYX may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections. Some people have died from these infections.

  • Your doctor should check you for tuberculosis (TB) before starting treatment with COSENTYX.

  • If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be treated with medicine for TB before you begin treatment with COSENTYX and during treatment with COSENTYX.

  • Your doctor should watch you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with COSENTYX. Do not use COSENTYX if you have an active TB infection.

Before starting COSENTYX, tell your doctor if you:

If you have inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease), tell your doctor if you have worsening disease symptoms during treatment with COSENTYX or develop new symptoms of stomach pain or diarrhea.

Severe skin reactions that look like eczema can happen during treatment with COSENTYX from days to months after your first dose and can sometimes lead to hospitalization.
