But tell them you've failed on these treatments and demand something better...I thinks its highly unlikely you will get Cosentyx as a first biological....in fact I think they will try you on systemic oral treatment first, have you had Methotrexate ...that's the usual starting place, or acetretin that works well ...or the treatment I am on Fumaderm have a read through these Oral Treatments For Psoriasis they are all treatments that you might not have been on before ...but if you have there's all these biological ones Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
Have a look and see what you haven't been on .....ask questions here but remember they are unlikely to start you on Cosentyx......I hope I'm wrong but phone them and tell them the creams are useless for severe psoriasis and you have read the standards that fred gave a link for ... tell them it's not good enough and you demand better
Hope you like the club by the way
