Hi everyone, my name is Charles. I have psoriasis since teenage in 1984 (after a serie of strep throat) and as most of us i went throught all kind of treatment from coaltar, steroid, UV, neotigason (30 years)....and luckily I was put under Cosentyx 5 years ago and it has just change my life by solving this issue....
...i have a question though : my wife and I are thinking about moving to Canada... i was wondering if it s possible to receive cosentyx there, and if so, is the treatment refund through the national health insurance, or is it paid by private insurance only? And also would you know how much it cost to pay it without insurance?
It s an important question because the cost of these treatments are so high that it would be hard to self finance them (and i have discovered that the price of cosentyx in the US could cost up to 3x the price in Switzerland...).
Thank you for your help,
Charles
