Cosentyx, also known as secukinumab, is a prescription medication used to treat a variety of conditions including plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1]. As with any medication, it is important to consider the potential for interactions with other drugs, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
According to the drug's prescribing information, there are no specific interactions listed between Cosentyx and common OTC drugs [2]. However, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications, both prescription and OTC, that you are taking. This includes vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies.
It is also important to note that Cosentyx is a biologic medication, which is a type of drug that is produced from living organisms or their components [1]. Biologic medications can have unique interactions and considerations compared to traditional small-molecule drugs.
In summary, while there are no specific interactions listed between Cosentyx and common OTC drugs, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking and to discuss any potential interactions.
