Convenient once-every-4-week dosing

The recommended dose of COSENTYX for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa is 300 mg. To start, your doctor may prescribe 5 weekly loading doses. To continue after that, you only need to take COSENTYX every 4 weeks thereafter.

Use COSENTYX exactly as prescribed by your doctor. 

If your doctor decides that you or a caregiver may give your injections at home, you should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject COSENTYX. Do not try to inject COSENTYX yourself, until you or your caregiver have been shown how by your doctor.
