Based on the information available, there is no inherent safety issue with taking over-the-counter (OTC) vitamins while on Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement regimen [2].

Secukinumab, the active ingredient in Cosentyx, is a monoclonal antibody that binds to interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a protein involved in inflammation [3]. It is primarily used to treat autoimmune conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [3].

OTC vitamins are generally safe for most individuals when taken as directed [2]. However, certain vitamins can interact with medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects [2]. For instance, high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of liver damage when taken with certain medications [2].

While there are no known interactions between Cosentyx and OTC vitamins [1], it's crucial to remember that everyone's medical situation is unique. Therefore, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure that any new medication or supplement won't interfere with existing treatments or medical conditions [2].
