I have been told I may be able to go onto it in January (The French always wait to see how it is going for others before committing themselves, but that's another story) but at the moment due to other probably unrelated problems I have to wait and see.
I have had moments when Stelara hasn't been so good for psoriatic arthritis, but at the moment I'm thinking I will see how it goes with the other problems and how I get through the winter before deciding to go on to Cosentyx. Stelara can be a bit up and down for psoriatic arthritis but I'm finding since upping my does to 90mg because I'm at 95kg it is doing better.
I've not had any upper respiratory infections that I could put down to any of the Bio's, but yes it is something to watch out for on all of them. So if you are getting them on Stelara I would imagine it will be the same on Cosentyx, but the only way to find out is to try it and see.
If you want to research Cosentyx further Jim is right a search (available to members only) will bring you in a lot of results, and I do always post the latest news on all prescribed treatments so a regular log-in and check will help.
