COSENTYX offers an additional treatment delivery option based on your weight through a monthly, 30-minute infusion. Plus, each infusion is administered by a healthcare provider at an infusion center, so you have support available to you during the process.

• You will be given COSENTYX by a healthcare provider through a needle placed in your vein (infusion). It takes about 30 minutes to give you the full dose of COSENTYX.

• Your healthcare provider will tell you how often you should receive COSENTYX.

• If you miss an appointment to receive COSENTYX, make another appointment as soon as possible.

Talk to your healthcare provider about what to expect, as each infusion center may be different. 

Here are a few considerations when preparing for your infusion.

• Before arriving at the infusion center:

  • Hydrate well 

  • Dress comfortably

  • Bring something to entertain yourself

• During your infusion, your healthcare provider may:

  • Check your vital signs

  • Ask you some questions

  • Answer any questions you may have

• Once your infusion is complete:

  • Schedule your next infusion

  • If you miss an appointment to receive COSENTYX, make another appointment as soon as possible

Your 30-minute infusion will be delivered while you remain seated. Others have found that it helps the time to go by faster by creating a routine or ritual that's unique to their experience. Here are a few ideas:

• Listen to a favorite playlist or podcast

• Read a book

• Scroll through social media

• Play a game

• Catch up on emails

Taking COSENTYX once a month for your psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with no routine lab monitoring during treatment,^‡ helps you have fewer interruptions in your daily routine and can help provide real relief from multiple symptoms of PsA.

• To start, your doctor will either prescribe 5 weekly doses or just 1 dose once a month, based on what's right for you. After that, you only need to take COSENTYX once a month.^§ The recommended dose is 150 mg, which is taken as 1 injection under the skin.

• If you continue to have PsA symptoms, your rheumatologist may prescribe 300 mg (taken as two 150-mg injections).

• If you have PsA but also have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, your rheumatologist may prescribe 300 mg (taken as two 150-mg injections).

• COSENTYX is injected with the Sensoready® Pen or a prefilled syringe.

^‡Before starting, get checked for tuberculosis.
^§Monthly dose equals 1 dose every 4 weeks.

If you're taking the 150-mg dose and you continue to experience some PsA symptoms, your rheumatologist may increase your dose to 300 mg to help you feel better. Do not try to inject COSENTYX yourself. Your healthcare provider should show you how to inject COSENTYX before using it for the first time.
