Asthma Treatment mepolizumab
I have now been put on to nucala (
mepolizumab
injections). Does this now mean I have severe asthma.

I recently changed from
Mepolizumab
monthly dose after 8 months and started on Dupilumab twice month.The results have been noticable by myself and others. I have far more energy now. Still coughing a little though, but I can live with this if my energy had improved.

infliximab or upadacitinib
Hi All… Just looking for a little advice. I am currently on vedolizumab but unfortunately after 3 years it has stopped working. I am currently in a very nasty flare and have to choose which biologic I would prefer to try next, Infliximab or a new drug called upadacitinib. I know we all react differently

How long did you wait for biologics?
They've said I qualify for two diff ones: Nucala (
mepolizumab
) and Fasenra (benralizumab) and think that the Faserna will be best.

Mepolizumab Injections
Hi, could anyone advise re these injections please. I've had 2 so far & the last couple of weeks my bowels have been hay wire, very bad wind & also leakages. They have certainly helped my asthma but wondered if these side effects settle down. I was ok after the 1st one but this 2nd one has had a

Dupilumab and e-Asthma Part Two
I have the same side effects as had with
Mepolizumab
- headache, nausea and itching but this may be because I had such a high dose first time. Forever the optimist as you can see. Well lovelies, off to a meeting but will post another update in two weeks.

Joining the dots......
Unfortunately despite having
mepolizumab
, benralizumab and omalizumab I have had little relief - eosinophils and FeNo remain high. To have a normal (ish) life I need 50 mg of steroids a day - out of the question. After finishing on omalizumab I was uncertain what the hospital could do.

allergic to benralizumab today started on mepolizumab feeling rough
hey so after 2 stat doses of first biologics I had to go back to mdt to be discussed as was reacting within minutes each time and requiring close monitoring for 4hrs both times. So today started mepo within 5 mins same but not quite so severe I feel rubbish. They've now added benralizumab to my list

Eosinophilic Asthma and Mepolizumab
Hi everyone I have been successfully controlled by Mepo for just over 4 years. However just recently it has stopped working as effectively. I am being reviewed by my consultant. Has this happened to anyone else and if so what drug have they replaced this with? Many thanks, Corinne 😁🙏

Dupilumab and e-Asthma
I was on
Mepolizumab
but last October it stopped working. It had worked really well for 4 years but suddenly didn’t. No one can tell me why and the most frustrating thing is that no one believed me when I told them. I have spent countless hours on the telephone and sending e-mails.

Changes in type of asthma
So when the information arrived l was surprised to see it was for Nucala (
mepolizumab
) not xolair as previously discussed, when l questioned this they said my markers had changed over time and now l was classed as having severe refractory eosinophilic asthma, hence the change in injections.

Adolescent son starting Mepolizumab
Hi there, my 16 year old son is just about to start
Mepolizumab
. His consultant and respiratory nurses are amazing and have been great at talking us through this but just wondered if some of you who are on Mepo or have been had any words of wisdom/advice/support to share.

How were you diagnosed?
I was given
mepolizumab
- sadly it did not have the hoped for results. I was switched to fasenra which showed promise - you are given larger doses initially - when dropped to two monthly once again things fell away. Xolair is next on the list.

Self injection query
Can anyone who is currently on
Mepolizumab
or Benralizumab who are self-administering help? My wife is on Benra and has to attend the local hospital every other month to be handed the self injection pen by a nurse to administer the dose herself.
