Dupixent

Dupixent (dupilumab) is a monoclonal antibody used to treat several chronic inflammatory conditions including moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema), asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. It works by targeting and inhibiting interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), proteins involved in the inflammatory response. By blocking these pathways, Dupixent helps to reduce inflammation, manage symptoms, and improve the quality of life for patients with these chronic conditions.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Dupixent Work?

Dupixent works by inhibiting the signaling of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), two key cytokines that contribute to chronic inflammation in conditions like atopic dermatitis, asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis. By blocking these signals, Dupixent helps reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms such as itching and skin lesions in eczema, improve lung function in asthma, and decrease nasal congestion in patients with nasal polyps.
