Cosentyx, also known as secukinumab, is a medication used to treat a variety of conditions including plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1]. Like many medications, Cosentyx can interact with other drugs, which can affect how well the medication works or increase the risk of side effects.

According to the drug's prescribing information, Cosentyx can interact with live vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the varicella vaccine (chickenpox) [2]. This is because Cosentyx can lower the body's ability to fight infections, and live vaccines can cause infections.

Additionally, Cosentyx can interact with other medications that affect the immune system, such as cyclosporine and other medications that are used to treat psoriasis [2]. This can increase the risk of infection and other side effects.

It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list of all the drugs that can interact with Cosentyx. Other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, may also interact with Cosentyx.

To get a complete list of potential drug interactions, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist [3]. They can provide a personalized list of potential drug interactions based on a patient's individual medication regimen.

In summary, Cosentyx can interact with live vaccines and other medications that affect the immune system. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist to get a complete list of potential drug interactions.
