Patient's Query

Hello doctor

I am a 33-year-old woman who has been struggling with asthma for the past seven years, and it is becoming increasingly discomforting. I am exploring treatment options, and I am curious about Dupixent.

1. How does Dupixent help improve breathing in asthma patients?

2. What are the potential side effects?

3. How is it administered?

4. Can it be used together with other asthma medications? Please guide.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your first query consult is on us!

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.

Dupixent is a good medicine to control inflammatory reactions. These actions can help to an extent in asthma but are not a complete treatment for asthma. We cannot fully rely on this medicine. Asthma occurs due to allergies like dust and pollen. So, if you prevent the allergies, you will not have asthmatic symptoms. Hence, I would suggest you try preventing the allergies. Then, we can prescribe medicine accordingly.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of more queries.

Thank you.
