Secukinumab: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Secukinumab is used to treat autoimmune conditions like moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. These are chronic diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, causing symptoms like skin rashes, joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Secukinumab works by blocking interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a protein that plays a key role in causing inflammation. By targeting this specific pathway, it helps reduce redness, scaling, joint swelling, and pain, improving daily function and quality of life.

Dosage:                               

Secukinumab is an injection used to treat conditions like plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The usual dose for adults with plaque psoriasis is 300 mg, given as two 150 mg injections once weekly for the first 5 weeks (at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4), followed by 300 mg once monthly. For psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, the starting dose may be 150 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then 150 mg monthly, though higher doses may be used if needed. It's given under the skin (subcutaneously), usually in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
