Cosnextyx 150mg

Cosnextyx 150mg contains Secukinumab 150mg, a biologic medicine that blocks interleukin-17. Made by Novartis Pharma (pakistan)ltd, it is prescribed for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and hidradenitis suppurativa. Pack size: 1.

Uses of Cosnextyx 150mg

Cosnextyx 150mg is a specialist injection used for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis when creams, tablets or light treatment are not enough. It is also used for psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and related forms of inflammatory back arthritis, and for hidradenitis suppurativa. It aims to clear skin plaques, reduce joint pain and stiffness, and slow joint damage over time.

How Cosnextyx 150mg works

Secukinumab is a laboratory-made antibody that attaches to interleukin-17A, a messenger protein that drives inflammation in the skin and joints. Neutralising it calms the overactive immune response, so skin cells stop building up into plaques and joint inflammation settles.

Possible side effects

Many people use Cosnextyx 150mg with few problems, though the following effects are reported fairly often:

• Colds and upper respiratory infections
• Cold sores
• Diarrhoea
• Headache
• Oral thrush
• Runny nose

Seek medical help promptly for signs of a serious infection such as fever, persistent cough or burning when passing urine, signs of an allergic reaction such as facial swelling or difficulty breathing, or new severe stomach pain or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• You will usually be screened for tuberculosis before starting, and should tell your doctor if you have an active infection or keep getting infections.
• Tell your doctor if you have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, as Cosnextyx 150mg can make inflammatory bowel disease worse.
• Avoid live vaccines during treatment, and check with your specialist before any vaccination.
• If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, discuss this with your doctor, as reliable contraception is generally advised during treatment.
