Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hidradenitis Suppurativa medications, costs, and savings programs.

What is hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)?
HS is a chronic, painful inflammatory skin condition affecting hair follicles in skin fold areas (armpits, groin, buttocks, under breasts). It causes recurrent nodules, abscesses, tunnels, and scarring. Affects approximately 1% of the population and is often underdiagnosed.
Is Humira the only approved biologic for HS?
Humira was first approved for HS in 2015. Cosentyx (secukinumab) and Bimzelx (bimekizumab) gained FDA approval for HS in 2023. More IL-17 and IL-1 pathway drugs are in trials.
Does AbbVie have patient assistance for Humira?
The myAbbVie Assist program provides free Humira for uninsured qualifying patients. The myAbbVie copay card can bring monthly out-of-pocket to $5 for commercially insured patients. Visit myabbvieassist.com or call 1-800-222-6885.
What lifestyle changes help HS?
Weight loss in overweight patients significantly reduces HS severity. Quitting smoking dramatically improves outcomes. Loose-fitting breathable clothing reduces friction. A low-glycemic diet shows benefit in some studies.
How do I get Cosentyx for free or low cost?
Novartis offers the Cosentyx Moments program with copay assistance (as low as $0/month) for commercially insured patients and a free drug program for uninsured qualifying patients. Visit cosentyx.com/patient-support or call 1-844-COSENTYX.
