What is Secukinumab Injection used for?

Secukinumab injection is primarily used to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, moderate-to-severe scalp psoriasis, and moderate-to-severe palmoplantar psoriasis. It is a targeted biologic agent that must be used under professional medical guidance. If symptoms suggestive of these conditions appear or if discomfort occurs after medication, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.

1. Moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis: For patients with extensive skin lesions and inadequate response to conventional treatments, this medication reduces erythema, scaling, and thickened skin lesions by inhibiting inflammatory factors, thereby relieving skin itching, improving skin appearance, and enhancing quality of life.

2. Ankylosing spondylitis: Indicated for patients with active ankylosing spondylitis, it helps alleviate back pain and stiffness, improves spinal and joint mobility, slows disease progression, and reduces the risk of disability.

3. Psoriatic arthritis: Suitable for psoriasis patients with accompanying joint involvement, it reduces joint swelling, pain, and inflammation, protects joint function, and simultaneously improves skin psoriatic symptoms, enabling comprehensive physical and mental management.

4. Moderate-to-severe scalp psoriasis: Targets stubborn scalp lesions, relieving scalp redness, thick scaling, and itching, reducing hair loss risk, and preventing lesion spread to exposed areas such as the face, thus boosting patients’ social confidence.

5. Moderate-to-severe palmoplantar psoriasis: For patients with severe involvement of palms and soles, it reduces local skin thickening, fissuring, and pain, improves hand and foot functionality, and minimizes daily activity limitations caused by skin lesions.

During treatment, strictly follow medical instructions for timely injections; do not adjust dosage or discontinue medication without authorization. Maintain clean and moisturized skin, and avoid scratching affected areas. Follow a regular sleep schedule and balanced diet to strengthen immune function. Attend regular follow-up visits to monitor disease status and physiological indicators, ensuring safe and effective therapy.
