How Does Cosentyx Work?
TREATMENT EDUCATION
Cosentyx belongs to a class of drugs known as monoclonal antibodies. Cosentyx specifically targets the interleukin-17A protein which plays a key role in inflammation. By blocking IL-17A, Cosentyx helps reduce inflammation in the skin, joints, and other affected areas, thereby alleviating symptoms of psoriasis and related inflammatory conditions.
What to Expect During Your Infusion
Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.
- Pure doesn’t believe in waiting rooms. You’ll be taken to your own private suite where you’ll check in and your nurse will take your vitals and complete a pre-infusion assessment.
- To begin the infusion, an IV line will be inserted into your arm or hand. The medication will be connected and the nurse will monitor the infusion carefully, especially the first few minutes, to watch for reactions or side effects and make sure you’re comfortable.
- When the infusion is complete, your IV will be removed and the nurse will apply a bandage. Your nurse will give you instructions on side effects to watch for and when to seek help. You may be asked to stay for a short observation period.
- You can resume normal activities, though you may feel tired or need to rest. Drink water and eat a light meal to help with fatigue or nausea.
