For people 6+ with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
LOOK AND FEEL BETTER WITH COSENTYX® (secukinumab)
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. Approximately 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance vs. ~5% taking placebo. Approximately 6 out of 10 people saw 90% skin clearance vs. 1% taking placebo.
Many who saw results at 1 year maintained them at 5 years.†
†After 3 years, patients and doctors were told which medication was being used. Knowing the study drug being used may affect the results.
Among those moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients who kept a symptom diary (39% of people), people taking COSENTYX reported an improvement in symptoms like pain, itching, and scaling at 12 weeks, compared with those not taking COSENTYX (placebo) in the studies.
COSENTYX also improves troublesome areas like scalp and nails.
Nail and scalp psoriasis can be signs of another potential related disease, psoriatic arthritis.
See how both conditions may be connected and if you're at risk.
See before and after pictures of how COSENTYX works on troublesome areas, like the scalp, nails, palms, and bottoms of feet.

||Nail psoriasis improved by 46% in people receiving COSENTYX 300 mg compared to an improvement of about 12% in people receiving placebo at week 16.
¶Over 30% of people on COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear on their palms and the bottoms of their feet at 16 weeks compared to 1.5% with placebo.
Real people are seeing and feeling real results, even on troublesome areas:
Individual results may vary. Nadia was compensated for her time.
“One time, in particular, I was at a hair salon getting ready to be serviced, and the beautician who was about to do my hair was very disrespectful. I assumed that the psoriasis made her feel uncomfortable."
"Things that have changed for me personally would include: I have a clear scalp. I have no more flakes. I don’t have to be so mindful with the colors that I wear. I can easily get my hair done.”
Individual results may vary. Dewey was compensated for his time.
“I had it all the way up to the fingertips, including the nails. At the cashout line, the cashier would ask me to pay with a card so she wouldn’t have to touch my money. That was everyday life.”
"Now it’s the best feeling to be in public. I’m clear.”
What’s the connection between plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?
Many people with plaque psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis, especially if they have psoriasis on their nails and scalp. If left untreated, psoriatic arthritis can cause permanent joint damage. COSENTYX works to treat all of this, and helps stop further joint damage. Talk to your doctor if you recognize these symptoms to learn more.
In another trial, up to 60% of patients taking COSENTYX 150 mg saw at least a 20% improvement in psoriatic arthritis symptoms at 16 weeks versus 18% of patients taking placebo.
