Hello, John! How are you?

As reported by the FDA, it is usually known to cause weight loss, as a side effect. You may also experience nausea, fever, headache and stuffy nose.

Can anyone else that's been on it chime in with their experiences?

Cosentyx gives me a full feeling with very little food and feels like it takes longer to digest. I am only on my 4th week of use. I am overweight and this is a positive, for now.

8 month user & over weight. Yes, Cosentyx causes weight loss. Less of an appetite, little food and you feel full. And...difficulty swallowing, indigestion, lethargy and hair loss.

I've been taking Cosentyx for 5 months now and have gained 10 pounds. My appetite has decreased, I often feel bloated and have cut my daily calories. I don't understand why I gained so much weight so quick.
