Then got switched to the biosimilar because insurance obviously and my dermatologist has agreed today that it does not seem effective so I'm doing the onboarding doses of cosentyx the next couple weeks hoping for improvement and insurance approval if everything goes well

Hi, Has Anyone Considered Changing From Humira To Cosentyx?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Sarasota, FL

I have finally reached a point where Humira is not effective for HS. They finally approved Cosentyx as a medication for HS. They told me it would not be as harsh on the immune system and that it might help me. Is anyone considering it?

I sorta think that she is just using HS as the main source of everything, and writing off the rest. I was looking forward to this meeting as maybe finally getting some answers, but I feel like I've been dismissed. I was misdiagnosed with… read more
