I started on Dupixent last November (2023) and was greatly impressed until May 2024. It seemed though it just switched off for some reason and had 4 exacerbation between may and August.
Now I understand that there is a new medication by Verona Pharm by the name of Ohtuvayre that is available to COPD patients. It is administered via jet-nebulizer twice a day. Has anyone started on this or discussed it with their Pulmolologist?

Hello I see you started you Dupiexnt last year in November but it was not approved by the FDA for COPD at that time. It was used for eczema and nasal polyp. You might want to check to see if the medication has been upgraded for COPD. I can't believe a Dr gave you the medicine for COPD when it was not approved for that. Did your insurance pay for it. It was just approved September 2024 for COPD. You can Google it
