Based on the information available, there are no specific over-the-counter (OTC) medications contraindicated with Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. However, it's important to note that patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are taking, including OTC drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, as these may interact with prescribed medications [1][2].
Secukinumab, the active ingredient in Cosentyx, is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin-17A (IL-17A), and is used to treat several conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1].
While there are no specific OTC medications contraindicated with Cosentyx, patients should be aware of potential side effects and monitor their health closely while taking the medication [1]. Common side effects of Cosentyx include cold symptoms, stomach flu symptoms, and reactions at the injection site [1].
It's also important to note that while DrugPatentWatch.com is a valuable resource for information on drug patents and pharmaceutical industry news, it does not provide information on contraindications between medications [3].
