Hi guys

I’ve been on Nucala for best part of a year now. Great results. But when I take my injection I am so tired the first day or so. Is this normal

everything else is going well.

hi. I'm not on Nucala but didn't want to scroll by. I'm on a biologic but only had one injection so far. I felt sniffly and a bit subdued. Having my second soon so will see how this goes. I hope done one who is on your biologic can update you soon.

Yes, i was on it a total of about 2.5 years and i was basically floored the next day, so always worked around it as i expected it. That was the only.side effect that i had and once every 4 weeks i was happy to have 1 flat day. I did find out after time that if i took it at bedtime it wasnt as bad as if i took it in the morning

Hi there I’ve been on Nucala now for over four years and it has changed my life. I have never had any side effects at as far as I know and it has really been a game changer for me. However my consultant is now looking at changing me to a new biologic as its effects seemed to have lessened over the past six months. Overall it has been amazing good luck 😊

Thank you so much. I’ll take a note next time I’m due injection and see if it helps. They have been absolutely amazing for me too. Long may it last
