Secukinumab (trade name Cosentyx) is a type of biological therapy which interferes with the function of IL-17A proteins. This action modifies the immune activity and inflammation that cause the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis.

Secukinumab can be prescribed by a consultant rheumatologist for adults with psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It’s a long-term treatment, so it may be up to four months before you start to notice the benefits (although some people notice an improvement in the first few weeks of treatment). It can be used alone or with methotrexate.

Secukinumab won’t be started if:

• your arthritis isn’t active
• you’re pregnant or breastfeeding
• you haven’t tried other treatments appropriate for your condition first.

Your doctor may decide not to prescribe secukinumab if:

• you have, or have recently had, an infection
• you have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
• you’re having phototherapy treatment for psoriasis.

You’ll probably have blood tests before treatment starts to assess your disease and whether the drug is suitable for you. Your doctor will need to check if you’ve previously been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), and you may need a course of treatment for latent (asymptomatic) TB before starting secukinumab.

If you’re taking other drugs alongside your secukinumab (such as methotrexate) you’ll also need to continue your blood tests for these.
