Anyone on both Nucala and Xolair?

Posted by barbara0619 @barbara0619, Jul 26 8:06am

New to this group so thank you in advance. I have asthma, ABPA and have had MAC. Xolair has helped the past 6 years but I haven't been able to taper down on prednisone ( 15 mgs ) . My pulmonologist suggests adding in Nucala. Wondering if anyone else has been on both, for what reason, and if it has made a difference. Thank you!!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Asthma & Allergy Support Group.

Nucala has been a game changer for me! Monthly for 3 yrs.
I have asthma not born with it but
16 plus years on Spiriva, Symbicort preventative asthma inhalers and generic singular.
Not sure what your other meds, and stated conditions (initials you have. )

I was on Dupixent and was switched to Nucala. My docs have never suggested adding another biologic and I’ve not heard of anyone taking 2 at the same time.

Having one biologic has really helped me by eliminating my exacerbations (used to have 1-6/yr for 20+ years). It has also raised my resting O2 saturation rate and slightly improved my PFTs.
