For adults and children 12+ with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa
COSENTYX® (secukinumab) helps adults and children as early as 12+ find real relief from moderate to severe HS symptoms†
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, or long-lasting, inflammatory skin condition that, for some, may begin around puberty. 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 cause throbbing, stabbing, or even burning pain.
Living with HS can be a daily challenge. It's important to be open with your dermatologist about all the ways HS affects you and how it makes you feel.
Real relief for people with HS
50% REDUCTION OF ABSCESSES & NO INCREASE IN THESE SYMPTOMS
In the 2 clinical trials, 41% and 43% of adults taking COSENTYX 300 mg every 4 weeks (after 5 initial weekly doses) had at least a 50% reduction in the number of inflammatory bumps and abscesses, with no increase in the number of abscesses and/or draining tunnels at 16 weeks vs 29% and 26% taking placebo.
ZERO FLARES AT 16 WEEKS FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
In 1 of 2 clinical trials, 75% of adults taking COSENTYX had zero flares at week 16.‡ In the same clinical trial, 25% of adults taking COSENTYX had 1 or more flares at week 16 vs 36% taking placebo. In the second clinical trial, the same results were not seen. A flare was defined as a greater than 25% increase in the number of inflammatory bumps and abscesses, with a minimum increase of 2 inflammatory bumps or abscesses.
†The safety and effectiveness of COSENTYX in patients 12 years of age and older who weigh 30 kg or more was supported by safety and efficacy data from clinical trials in adults.
‡COSENTYX 300 mg every 4 weeks (after 5 initial weekly doses).

“I WANTED REAL, LASTING RELIEF. COSENTYX IS THAT FOR ME.
When I was a teen, it was very challenging. I would tell my younger self that there is going to be something that's going to help."

How is COSENTYX different?
COSENTYX targets and blocks IL-17A, an important molecule that contributes to inflammation that may lead to HS symptoms.
