Based on the information available, it is generally safe to receive a flu shot shortly after receiving Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations or injections, as they can provide personalized advice based on an individual's medical history and current medications [2].

Cosentyx is a medication used to treat a variety of conditions, including plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1]. It is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, which works by targeting and blocking a specific protein in the body [1].

Flu shots, on the other hand, are vaccines that help protect against the influenza virus [3]. They are typically made using inactivated or weakened viruses, or pieces of the virus [3].

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, there are currently no known interactions between Cosentyx and the flu shot [4]. However, it is still important to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations or injections, as they can provide personalized advice based on an individual's medical history and current medications [2].

In summary, it is generally safe to receive a flu shot shortly after receiving Cosentyx, but it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before receiving any vaccinations or injections.
