Cosentyx<\/span> (<\/span>secukinumab<\/span>) is part of a wave of <\/span>biologic<\/span> medications that are changing the way we treat diseases. Derived from cells, like all <\/span>biologics<\/span>, <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span><\/a> is a <\/span>monoclonal antibody<\/span><\/a> that blocks the ability of <\/span>interleukin-17A<\/span> (<\/span>IL-17A<\/span>) to function in our <\/span>immune system<\/span>. This immunosuppressant is useful in quelling inflammation at the root of autoimmune conditions and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate to <\/span>severe plaque psoriasis<\/span>, <\/span>psoriatic arthritis<\/span>, <\/span>ankylosing spondylitis<\/span>, <\/span>non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis<\/span>, and <\/span>hidradenitis suppurativa<\/span>. As effective as it can be, the <\/span>side effects<\/span> and <\/span>expense of this injected medication<\/span><\/a> can be daunting. Consider reviewing the alternatives before starting <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> or during your treatment if difficulties arise.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can I take instead of <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Specific options to replace <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> will depend on the condition being treated, but there are several that have overlapping uses. The alternatives hail from the <\/span>biologic<\/span> category of drugs<\/span><\/a>. Other <\/span>IL-17A<\/span> inhibitors<\/span> are an obvious choice, but IL-12\/IL-23 blockers, Janus kinase <\/span>inhibitors<\/span> (JAK), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha <\/span>inhibitors<\/span> (TNF-alpha) are also viable alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All have the potency required to treat moderate to severe autoimmune disease, and like <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>, they are typically not appropriate for mild cases. Their names are probably recognizable from advertisements, and now you can learn more about them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Top 5 <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n

The following are some of the most common alternatives to <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span>Taltz<\/span><\/h3>\n

Taltz<\/span> is another <\/span>biologic<\/span> IL-17A<\/span> inhibitor<\/span>. Not surprisingly, the list of <\/span>medical conditions<\/span> for which it has <\/span>FDA approval<\/span> matches up well with <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>. <\/span>Side effects<\/span><\/a>, namely <\/span>serious infections<\/span> related to immune suppression, are similar between the two. So, the reason you might be interested in <\/span>Taltz<\/span> is related to insurance coverage. If it is listed more favorably on your insurance <\/span>formulary<\/span><\/a>, your out-of-pocket <\/span>copay<\/span><\/a> could be less.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Indacio, a <\/span>biosimilar<\/span> to <\/span>Humira<\/span><\/h3>\n

Indacio is a <\/span>biosimilar<\/span> to <\/span>brand-name<\/span> Humira<\/span>, a TNF-alpha <\/span>inhibitor<\/span>. The term “biosimilar” means it has almost exactly the same chemical structure and shares the same FDA indications and dosing. Indacio is one of several <\/span>biosimilar<\/span> adalimumab<\/span><\/a> products, which also include <\/span>Hulio<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Cyltezo<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Hyrimoz<\/span><\/a>. This competition and lower development costs are why they have a lower <\/span>price<\/span><\/a>. If you take your <\/span>SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>coupon<\/span><\/a> to your pharmacy, you may be happy to find that <\/span>a <\/span>biologic<\/span> med can be more affordable<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Cimzia<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cimzia is another TNF-alpha blocker with similar treatment potential to <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>. If the <\/span>IL-17A<\/span> inhibitor<\/span> is not working, your dermatologist or rheumatologist may suggest Cimzia as an alternative. At that point, the determining factor will be whether your insurance authorizes Cimzia. Your <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span>, insurance company, and the <\/span>specialty pharmacy<\/span><\/a> providing your <\/span>biologic drugs<\/span> will work together during the prior authorization process.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/span>Skyrizi<\/span><\/h3>\n

Two other messengers in our <\/span>immune system<\/span>\u2019s inflammatory cascade are IL-12 and IL-23. <\/span>Skyrizi<\/span> interrupts this portion. If <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> proves inadequate, <\/span>Skyrizi<\/span> could be considered if its <\/span>price<\/span><\/a> is acceptable. Unlike <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>, it also has indications for treating <\/span>inflammatory bowel disease<\/span>, including both <\/span>Crohn\u2019s and ulcerative colitis<\/span><\/a>. Another advantage of the drug is <\/span>Skyrizi<\/span>\u2019s less frequent dosing, every 12 weeks. Who doesn\u2019t want fewer injections?<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Xeljanz<\/span><\/h3>\n

If avoiding injections is a high priority, the small molecule JAK <\/span>inhibitor<\/span> Xeljanz<\/span><\/a> may be worth considering. Unlike injected <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>, Xeljanz is taken as a twice-daily pill. It not only has FDA indications for treating <\/span>plaque psoriasis<\/span> and <\/span>psoriatic arthritis<\/span>, but also shares some of the same <\/span>side effect<\/span><\/a> warnings and <\/span>cost concerns<\/span><\/a> as other <\/span>biologics<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural alternatives to <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to moderate to severe cases of autoimmune arthritis and psoriasis, consult your doctor before considering natural alternatives to <\/span>biologics<\/span>. The stakes are high, so consult a healthcare provider before taking any action. For mild psoriasis, consider exploring vitamin D, vitamin E, aloe, and omega-3, which are among the products listed in a <\/span>comprehensive review<\/span><\/a>. Turmeric is another herbal remedy being investigated for psoriasis, and, like vitamin D, it may also be beneficial for <\/span>psoriatic arthritis<\/span>, according to a <\/span>case report<\/span><\/a>. The potential benefits must be weighed against potential harms, just as with any natural alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to switch to a <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> alternative<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you stop <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span>, a withdrawal syndrome is not really a concern, but the return of disease-related symptoms certainly is. Any change to your treatment regimen should be reviewed with the <\/span>healthcare professionals<\/span> on your team. Considering the benefits, adverse effects, drug interactions, price, and insurance coverage of any <\/span>Cosentyx<\/span> alternative is complex. Call your <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> and discuss your concerns about <\/span>Cosentyx,<\/span> as well as your thoughts on other options, now that you are more informed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
