Thanks, I couldn’t find the drug in the link. Is this same drug ? If so it looks promising. Hurrah for better meds.

they sound very similar but the one referred to in the link provided by Littleeak is called Dupilumab and the one in your article is called Dupixent but the explanation on both sound almost identical.

This looks very promising, it has now successfully completed stage 3 (May '23) so hopefully we will hear more news soon.

[jackdup]

it certainly sounds promising.

Dupixent is a brand name for Dupilumab it’s one of the new range of bialogic medications which have shown good results, I know asthma suffers who are getting good results with bialogics. The ones I know have fortnightly injections self administered. The suffix “mab” denotes it’s a bialogic and they are being used to target a host of different diseases

my husband has been on Dupilumab nearly a year for severe asthma but it hasn’t helped, He’s hoping his consultant can try something else now he’s tried it for so long . 🤞
