Plaque Psoriasis Treatment | COSENTYX® (secukinumab)

For people 6+ with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Results fast. Clear skin that can last.

In clinical trials, 6 out of 10 people taking COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear at 12 weeks vs ~5% taking placebo. Approximately 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance compared to those not taking COSENTYX. Approximately 6 out of 10 people saw 90% skin clearance compared to those not taking COSENTYX.

Many who saw results at 1 year maintained them at 5 years.^†
