Are there specific vaccines to avoid while on cosentyx?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for cosentyx

Based on the information available, there is no definitive list of vaccines to avoid while on Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. However, the manufacturer recommends that live vaccines should be administered at least 4 weeks before starting Cosentyx, if possible [1]. This recommendation is due to the potential risk of infection associated with live vaccines [1].

It is important to note that the decision to administer vaccines while on Cosentyx should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional [1]. They will consider the individual's health status, the need for the vaccine, and the potential risks and benefits [1].

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also advises that live vaccines should be given at least 4 weeks before starting immunosuppressive therapy like Cosentyx [2]. However, the CDC does not provide a specific list of vaccines to avoid [2].

In conclusion, while there is no specific list of vaccines to avoid while on Cosentyx, live vaccines should be administered at least 4 weeks before starting the medication if possible. The decision to administer vaccines while on Cosentyx should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.
