CHILDREN
(6-11 years)
As kids grow, they may develop a better sense of how asthma affects them and the steps necessary to
manage their symptoms. Use the tips below to create an injection routine that works for your family.
Injection Tips & Tricks For CAREGIVERS
When it’s time to inject, consider these tips and tricks from real caregivers:
- Write the injection day on a calendar so your child knows when it’s
coming ahead of time. - When appropriate, allow your child to guide the routine, whether it’s
choosing a spot to sit, a song to listen to, or the time of day to receive
the injection. - Sometimes providing a reward works well—but often, a little quality
one-on-one time is incentive enough.
Download the Child Injection Activity guide. It could help keep your
child’s mind on something fun before, during, or after injection.
TEENS
(12-17 years)
When kids grow into teenagers, they experience plenty of milestones on their asthma journey. Use the tips below to help
guide your teen along the way.
Taking on More Responsibility
As teens mature, they can become more independent in managing their
condition. Here are a few pieces of advice from real caregivers:
Encourage your teen to keep a symptom journal so they can discuss any
changes with their doctor.
Allow your teen to take an active role in their care and ask
questions during appointments.
Create a care plan for when your teen is away from home, including
injection reminders, receiving and storing DUPIXENT shipments, and
administering injections.
For those who are heading off to college, explore additional resources
such as on-campus student health centers, telehealth appointments, or
supplemental injection support from a DUPIXENT MyWay® Nurse Educator.

always the best source of information. - Check in with them to ensure that they feel their new provider is a good fit.

staying on track with treatment.

HOW DUPIXENT WORKS
DUPIXENT works by blocking a key source of inflammation, which may be a cause of moderate-to-severe
asthma. Read on to learn more about the link between inflammation and asthma.
What’s a Biologic?
Your immune system is made up of cells that are talking to each other. In those with chronic inflammatory conditions, sometimes they talk too much. Biologics—like DUPIXENT—work to disrupt the conversation when cells are talking too much.
- Biologics are specialty medicines that are processed in the body differently than inhalers or oral steroids.
- To be effective and work in the body properly, most biologics are delivered by injection.
- DUPIXENT helps
block a key source
of inflammation in
the lungs that can
cause asthma
symptoms.
