Anyone with COPD taking Nucala (mepolizumab)? How did it help?
I started Nucala a month ago, it’s an injection once a month. Has anyone else taken the monthly shots, how did they help?

Did it help with your everyday breathing.
Duplicate—see below
Mine is mailed from CVS Specialty Pharmacy. They even sent a nurse to instruct me and watch me give my 1st auto-injections shot. For me, my everyday breathing is pretty decent. I did notice that it boosted my resting O2 saturation rates. They were 92=93 and now they’re 94-95%. I don’t FEEL different but am happy. I do notice I don’t get an exacerbation when I have things that might normally trigger one, like if my POC malfunctions or I’m having a rough day due to other things.

2 Reactions@hicopd I noticed you said you blood was at 340, since you have been on it has your blood dropped to lower number?
My blood eosinophil levels were over 500. I'm not sure we've checked it since I started taking the biologics.
