For adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa

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.

COSENTYX is a medicine that affects your immune system. COSENTYX may increase your risk of having serious side effects such as:

Infections

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:

are being treated for an infection
have an infection that does not go away or that keeps coming back
have TB or have been in close contact with someone with TB

New cases of inflammatory bowel disease or "flare-ups" can happen with COSENTYX, and can sometimes be serious. 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.
