HS is systemic. That means it affects the whole body, and it’s important to treat inflammation systemically for moderate to severe HS—not just treating the skin when symptoms appear.

COSENTYX^® (secukinumab) is a biologic treatment that targets and blocks IL-17A,^† an important molecule that may contribute to inflammation that leads to HS symptoms.

^†The relationship between how COSENTYX works in the body and how it affects your symptoms is unknown.

An HS diagnosis can take years—and during this time, the condition continues to progress. Don’t wait to talk to your doctor about treatment options and ask if COSENTYX is right for you.

Other HS treatment options include:

• Antibiotics

• Creams and ointments

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

• Surgery

What are biologics?

Biologics, like COSENTYX, are designed to work within your immune system and treat HS systemically by regulating a source of HS inflammation.

Dermatologists have their own specialties so it’s important to work with one who knows how to treat HS.

• Understand HS, know how it progresses, and be able to identify the stage you’re at and regularly assess and adjust treatment as needed

• Have experience treating people with HS, not just in diagnosing it.

• Walk you through all appropriate treatment options and be able to prescribe them, including treatments like biologics
