Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Secukinumab and Collagen Peptides. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Collagen Peptides Overview
Collagen peptides are a form of collagen, a protein that is found in the connective tissue of animals. Collagen is a major component of the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones, and it plays a key role in maintaining the strength and integrity of these tissues. Collagen peptides are made by breaking down collagen into smaller pieces, or peptides, which can be more easily absorbed by the body. It is sold as a dietary supplement and often marketed as being able to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and enhance joint function.
There is some evidence to suggest that collagen peptides may have certain health benefits when taken as a supplement. For example, studies have shown that collagen peptides can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, as well as reduce joint pain and improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of taking collagen peptides as a supplement. As a dietary protein, it is thought to be relatively safe to combine with most drugs.
Secukinumab Overview
-
Secukinumab injection is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body) in adults whose psoriasis is too severe to be treated by topical medications alone. It is also used in adults to treat psoriatic arthritis (a condition that causes joint pain and swelling and scales on the skin). Secukinumab injection is used in adults to treat ankylosing spondylitis (a condition in which the body attacks the joints of the spine and other areas, causing pain, swelling, and joint damage). It is also used in adults to treat active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (a condition in which the body attacks the joints of the spine and other areas, causing pain and signs of swelling, but without changes seen on x-ray). Secukinumab is also used in the treatment of enthesitis-related arthritis in children 4 years of age and older. Secukinumab injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by stopping the action of certain cells in the body that cause the symptoms of psoriasis.
