Yes, this is consistent with my understanding. I have asthma and high eosinophils as well as moderate to severe emphysema and 1-6 exacerbations/year. These past 12 months, I’ve had 3 exacerbations, 2 requiring steroids, all requiring antibiotics.

We are hoping this medication will reduce frequency and severity of exacerbations. One of my lung docs was in clinical trials on Dupixent and is very hopeful it will help me.

It comes in either a syringe or auto-injection pen. It seems like most folks use the auto-inject pen but there is an option for either. I am choosing to pick my medicine up at the specialty pharmacy because my local pharmacy doesn’t have backup generator and out power in the area has been funky and my pharmacist says he’s had lots of complaints about patients not receiving delivered meds. My 1st shot will be brought to my home by a nurse who will instruct me and watch me self-administer.
