There is no direct scientific evidence or clinical studies available that suggest exercise can directly influence how long Cosentyx (secukinumab) works in the body. Cosentyx is a biologic medication used to treat various conditions such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [1]. Its effectiveness and duration of action are primarily determined by the patient's immune response to the medication and the specific condition being treated [2].

However, regular exercise can help improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with these conditions, which may indirectly contribute to the optimal use of Cosentyx. Regular exercise can help manage symptoms, improve physical function, and maintain a healthy weight, all of which can positively impact the treatment outcomes of patients using Cosentyx [3][4].

In summary, while exercise cannot directly influence how long Cosentyx works, it can play a crucial role in supporting the overall health and well-being of patients using this medication.
