Is anyone using Dupixent for COPD?
I read this pill is quite effective

Thank for responding. Hopefully I will do something with the information. I'm very good, no I would say I am one of the best at not following through. I do appreciate you for helping me and others through this forum.
Thank you
I have just had such positive results and want everyone to as well. There is nothing worse than struggling to breath and not do the things that you would like to to do. Please, thought, make sure that you engage a practitioner that has had a good amount of experience placing them with positive outcomes. There are two types, the Spiration made by Olympus and then the Zephyr.....basically do the same thing. Wish you much success!
So what are they saying caused the vertigo/dizziness etc. ? I've not heard of Dupixent but have severe copd. Many days I have a big problem walking (slowly) 10 feet to get to the bathroom. This is interesting but I'd like to know what caused the side effects.

hopefully people using it respond
I have been using Dupixent for 8 months with remarkable benefits. I started it after zephyr valve insertions and now enjoy activities that gave me extreme shortness of breath before!

4 ReactionsLet me clarify! The Dupixent helped dramatically with all the secretions that I encountered almost taking them to minimum. My 02 sats improved by 4 % points. The valves opened the airways....so the procedure plus the medication works in tandem.
I have been using Dupixent for almost 2 years. VERY helpful in reducing mucous. My doctor qualified me for Dupixent My Way. https://www.dupixent.com/support-savings/copay-card. Do it.

3 ReactionsI have been since 11/2023 and found it to be truly life changing! Just within the last few months I have found it to be less effective.....don't know if that means I am advancing my disease or whether I am having an exacerbation and just need a course of prednisone taper. I also started a new medication about the time I started Dupixent and it may be interfering in some way. I don't think I would have made it this far without the Dupixent in conjunction of having zephyr valve placement. What a world of difference. Thank you for your response!
