How many injections of Secukinumab do you need in a year?

Secukinumab (Secukinumab) is given by injection under the skin, which is called a subcutaneous injection. Patients need to take secukinumab once a week for the first four weeks, and then they will only need to take secukinumab once a month. According to this number of injections, about 15 injections may be needed in a year, but the doctor may adjust the frequency of drug use based on adverse reactions.

Secukinumab comes in a prefilled syringe or pen so that you, your partner, or other family members can learn to give these injections to you at home. If you miss a dose or take a dose too early, ask your doctor when to take the next dose. If a patient is allergic to latex, they should mention this to their doctor. The needle caps on some prefilled syringes may contain latex, which may cause a reaction. Secukinumab is a long-term treatment, so it is important to continue taking secukinumab even if it doesn't seem to be working at first. Even if your symptoms start to get better, tell your doctor if you have serious side effects or symptoms of infection. They may recommend delaying or stopping treatment.
