The suggested Cosentyx (secukinumab) MMR (Maintenance Monotherapy Regimen) injection interval is every 4 weeks. According to the Prescribing Information [1], Cosentyx is administered as a 150 mg injection every 4 weeks as a maintenance regimen.
The recommended dosing schedule is based on the results of clinical trials, which demonstrated the efficacy and safety of Cosentyx in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [2]. The 4-week injection interval has been shown to provide sustained efficacy and improved patient outcomes [3].
It is essential to note that the dosing schedule may vary depending on individual patient needs and response to treatment. Healthcare providers should carefully consider each patient's unique situation and adjust the dosing schedule accordingly [4].
In summary, the suggested Cosentyx MMR injection interval is every 4 weeks, as recommended by the Prescribing Information and supported by clinical trial data.
