Anyone using Dupixent for asthma/allergy treatment?

Hi - Wow, I was chatting with my daughter on the phone when this message popped. The good news is that her asthma is now controlled without inhaled steroids except during an exacerbation (as from allergies or a cold.) Then she uses a nebbed budosenide for a few days. The very best thing has been ZERO hospitalizations for asthma - a record since she started Dupixent - after 20+ years of multiple stays for many years.

By the way - she was also diagnosed with mild bronchiectasis after Covid - they don't know if it from that or her RA. At least she has never had MAC or pseudomonas!
If my asthma was diagnosed as eosiniphilic, I would try Dupixent without hesitation.

That is so good to hear, but I’m sorry you’ve had to watch your daughter deal with all this — lucky she has you with all your experience and knowledge on this!

Yikes — I called the pharmacy today and even with my Humana insurance it would be $1,000 a month for two shots !!
Is that the normal amount to have to pay for it?

They said it’s $3,000 without insurance……😫
