Based on the information available, there is currently no evidence to suggest that taking Cosentyx (secukinumab) after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe [1]. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or continuing any medication after receiving a vaccine.
Cosentyx is a medication used to treat several conditions, including plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [2]. It is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, which works by targeting a specific protein in the body to reduce inflammation [3].
COVID-19 vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing COVID-19 infection [4][5]. Like any vaccine, they can cause side effects, but these are typically mild and go away on their own within a few days [6].
It is important to note that while there is no evidence to suggest that taking Cosentyx after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure that it is safe for an individual's specific situation [1].
