How long can you take Cosentyx?

To start, your doctor may either prescribe 5 weekly doses or just one dose every 4 weeks, based on what's right for you. After that, you only need to take COSENTYX every 4 weeks. If you continue to have AS symptoms, your doctor or rheumatologist may prescribe 300 mg (taken as two 150-mg injections).
