That is no correct. As we all know medicine is not a cut and dry science......there were many criteria one had to meet other that just a Dx of COPD, and also there was consideration of exacerbation requiring Steroids, and also Eosinophil count both in blood and sputum. It is difficult to explain to people that don't work in the medical arena that there are numerous times medications are prescribed for what is called "off-label" use. In fact if you research it almost 20% of prescriptions written are for off-label use. As of July, Dupixent has been approved through the FDA for COPD patients....Dupixent has about 7 indicators that it is used for. So to date, the two new drugs that have been approved just this summer by the FDA for COPD (specifically and not off-label) are Dupixent and Ohtuvayre.

Yes I read that before it was approved for COPD that is was already approved for Asthma so they could prescribed it for breathing problems. I am sorry it just stopped working for you. Are you still taking it and how is your Eosinophil level running now. I do hope you can find something to help you. I hope this Dupiexnt keeps helping me or I don't know what I'm going to do 😔.
