DUPIXENT is an add-on maintenance treatment for adults
with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a high number of blood eosinophils (a type of white blood cell that may contribute to your COPD).WHEN USED WITH COPD
INHALERS,* DUPIXENT CAN:
View the possible side effects of DUPIXENT in patients with inadequately controlled chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. The most common side effects associated with DUPIXENT were injection site reactions, common cold symptoms (nasopharyngitis), high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), viral infection, back pain, inflammation inside the nose (rhinitis), diarrhea, gastritis, joint pain (arthralgia), toothache, headache, and urinary tract infection.
*COPD inhalers are considered standard of care (SOC), which refers to a typical treatment approach prescribed by
a healthcare professional for COPD.
†Assessed by SGRQ, a quality of life tool which measures COPD symptoms, physical activity, emotional well-being,
and social functioning. In two trials, 51% of patients who received DUPIXENT + SOC experienced a quality of life
improvement vs 43% and 47% with placebo + SOC. In one trial, results are descriptive, no definitive conclusions
can be made.
Research has shown that an underlying inflammation can lead to difficulty breathing
and an increase in COPD flare-ups.
Each flare-up can shorten the time until the next one. That could lead to more “bad days” that require additional puffs
from a rescue inhaler, doses of oral steroids or antibiotics, or even trips to the emergency room.
DUPIXENT works by targeting two of the key sources of inflammation that can increase the risk of COPD flare-ups.
DUPIXENT is an add-on treatment that works alongside your existing therapies.
DUPIXENT is a biologic given under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every 2 weeks. It is not an immunosuppressant, steroid, or antibiotic.
Better breathing is possible with DUPIXENT. Use the resources below to learn about DUPIXENT
