<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Secukinumab is fully human monoclonal antibody, IgG-1κ, which selectively attaches to IL-17A and inhibits its effects, which subsequently leads to a decrease of local inflammatory markers. In 2015 it was approved for treatment of patients suffering from psoriasis. We can say that in comparison with other biologic medicine, such as IL-12/23 inhibitors and TNF-α inhibitors, the incidence rate of serious adverse effects related to use of secukinumab is notably lower. Serious adverse effects reported in relation to use of secukinumab were development of mucocutaneous candidiasis, neutropenia and development or aggravation of the inflammatory bowel disease conditions.
In this review study we focused on frequent adverse effects and adverse effects of special interest during the secukinumab therapy in treating psoriasis patients.
Available data on long-term safety and effects on comorbidities are relatively few. A more extensive and longer term research is needed, as well as critical reevaluation of the criteria for participation in clinical trials in order to obtain data which would be of relevance in clinical practice. A better understanding of adverse effects leads to an improved individual therapeutic approach, increases patient’s satisfaction and results in minimizing these effects.
