Cosentyx Side Effects (Top voted first)

I was on Enbrel for 5 years for plaque psoriasis and had 95% clearing. I became tolerant to the Enbrel and the plaques started coming back especially on the scalp. Was put on Stellara which caused unrelenting fatigue and nausea with no clearing at all so I stopped. I am now taking Cosentyx which caused nausea and fatigue for a day or two after each shot. I just took my 6th dose and again have nausea and fatigue. The Cosentyx has stopped the spreading of the plaques but I have not had any clearing as of yet. I have been told not to expect much for three months so I have started the timer. Good luck to all of you and thank you for sharing, it gives me hope.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

Yes, it can usually take awhile for any given medication to reach its full level of efficacy in your body.

The NIH lists the typical side effects of Cosentyx as possibly including administration site reactions, redness, burning, and headache.

Hi. I have Ankylosing spondylitis and have had some success with enbrel as far as pain...but my hair is falling out despite all sorts of supplements and hair treatments. I understand cosentyx works differently and I shouldn’t have that reaction to it? Does anyone know if hair loss with enbrel means hair loss with cosentyx?

I have been on Cosentyx for 6 months. Due to my 4 maintenance rounds of shots in 2 days, I do two 150 mg shots monthly. I have always experienced the sinus issues and frequent urination. This month hasn't been too bad for those issues. Knock on wood. But now constipation is a problem. Help.

Hello,

I’ve been taking Cosentyx for a year now and I’m completely clear of my psoriasis which is awesome. I had really bad scalp psoriasis which itched and burned. I had patches behind my ears and on my legs and arms. Since I’ve been taking Cosentyx every two to three weeks I’ve been either getting an upper respiratory infection or a really bad cold. I thought it was where I worked because I work in a school. That’s what my doctors were trying to tell me, that it’s not the Cosentyx shots, it’s the environment. I’ve never been this sick till I started Cosentyx. Has anyone else had this problem and are they still on the medication?

I got symptoms of a severe cold and upper respiratory infection after my 1st injection. It lasted about 3-4 days. I just started feeling better and it's time for the 2nd injection. Should I expect to get sick like that after every injection?
