How to know if Tezepelumab is working in adolescent girls?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My daughter is 19 years old and has had severe asthma for six years, and just received her first Tezspire (Tezepelumab) injection yesterday. She has developed a weird rash on her arms and is complaining of joint pain. Are these expected side effects? How many doses will it take before we know if it is actually helping her breathe? Her previous biologic did not work at all, even after eight months of trying.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and can understand your concern.
Tezspire (Tezepelumab) has certain side effects:
- Back and joint pain.
- Sore throat.
- Allergic reaction.
- Injection site reaction.
- Rash.
- Red, itchy, swollen, or inflamed eyes.
I suggest you take Tezspire (Tezepelumab) as prescribed. Tezspire (Tezepelumab) is administered once every four weeks.
Tezspire (Tezepelumab) starts to work after the first dose, but it may take several weeks before noticeable improvement in asthma symptoms. In clinical studies, some individuals experienced symptom relief as early as two weeks after the initial dose.
The probable cause could be asthma.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
