Started Nucala

Oh wow I’m waiting for my insurance to approve so I can go on it, I’m on breztri and ohtuvayre and it’s not enough so I am hoping to try it out, but lease keep us updated on it, feel better

Hello,
I was hoping someone would be using Nucala. My doctor mentioned he wanted to start me on either Dupixent or Nucala for ACOS Asthma and COPD.
A little uncertain about them but…it would be great if something would help.

Daughter & I have been on Fasenra/Xolair for years. Highly recommend. Nucala is no different. I have emphysema/bronchiectasis and nobody knew because my PFTs were so good. I barely had asthma symptoms & only noticed when stopping for a brief time. Daughter was placed on Dupixent to prevent infections and so far has been able to avoid getting sick despite being in a dorm room with other sick students. It is definitely working.

I started Nucala and just took my 2nd dose. I had 11months of Dupixent before this. Had to switch because of arthlagia (muscle aches & pains). was able to stop having COPD exacerbations.

I have private insurance so was able to use the nucala’s discount card and have no copay. No financial info was required.

Before starting biologic, in 2023, I had 3 exacerbations and we were very concerned.

@suzyq61 I am on trelegy, have the o2vayrebut haven’t started it yet. I did one the same day I got the shot of Nucala, got lil sob, I didn’t do anymore. Trying to get the courage up to try it again. Nucala for one month seem to help.I have been able to breath better, rehab this month I was able to stay on treadmill long and higher setting.

@orangetiger only had one shot but was breathing, walking, coughing up mucus better.

@hicopd I only had one shot, how has it been for you?

Thank you all, this has been most helpful!
