Is anyone using Dupixent for COPD?

I read this pill is quite effective

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Support Group.

I have heard only negative things about stem cell therapy. And I believe that everyone is correct that it has not been approved in the U.S.

I was just approved by insurance to start Ohtuvayre. Has anyone else used it yet? I am currently using Trelegy , Dupixent and Singular because on top of the COPD I also have eosinophilic asthma. In the last 5 months I have gotten much worst. I don't have portable oxygen so leaving the house scares me since I can't walk across the room without gasping for air without it. I am hoping this is going to change everything for me.

I am currently, prior to the Ohtuvayre coming on the market. on Breztri, Ventolin, and Dupixent. Just received and started using the Ohtuvayre.....the jury is still out on this one. It's really just an add-on to your daily regime. I do plan to call the the Verno Pharm and attempt to speak to a pharmacist re the results I should, if any, by using it.

I may try this if dupixent doesn’t do enough to help reduce my frequent exacerbations. We are going to give dupixent a try 1st.

Well, I injected my dupixent after being trained by nurse who came to my home. I got a 1”x3” bruise that I still have a week after the injection. She’s coming in a week to see if she can help me have no bruise with next injection.

I take my Dupiexnt injections in my stomach and I don't have any bruising. I think it's more fat there instead of muscle. It hurts when I did it in my thigh so I will continue doing them in the abdomen.

Yes, my injection was my abdomen as directed. Still I’m good at bruising. I can’t imaging how much bruising I’d have if it was somewhere with less fat. haha!
