For people 2 years of age and older with active psoriatic arthritis

COSENTYX targets more than joint pain. It treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), like joint pain and tenderness† and back pain.‡ It also helps clear skin, and helps stop further joint damage.§

Psoriatic Arthritis symptoms

†In a clinical trial of adults taking 300 mg at 16 weeks.
‡In a clinical trial of adults taking COSENTYX 300 mg as their first biologic at 12 weeks.
§Based on data from X-rays of the hands and feet at 6 months.

COSENTYX WORKS FAST FOR RESULTS THAT CAN LAST

3 WKS

COSENTYX can start working in as little as 3 weeks.

Up to 60% of adults taking COSENTYX 150 mg in a clinical trial saw at least a 20% improvement in PsA symptoms at 16 weeks versus 18% of adults taking placebo.

5 YRS

COSENTYX has been proven to last.

For adults who continued on COSENTYX for 5 years, a similar percentage saw an improvement in PsA symptoms. In this study, the medication being used was revealed to doctors and adults after 1 year, which may affect the results.
