Doctor Discussion Guide

PERSONALIZE YOUR GUIDE

Our goal is for you or your loved one to get the most out of your visit to the doctor—whether you’re just
beginning your treatment journey or looking for another way to treat your eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

This discussion guide allows you to personalize your answers so your doctor can understand how EoE
affects you and whether DUPIXENT may be a treatment option. Fill out the form, then download your
responses to help guide the conversation at your next appointment.

As you complete this guide, consider the acronym IMPACT, which often describes behaviors of those living with EoE:
  • I Imbibe fluids with meals
  • M Modify food (cutting into small pieces, pureeing)
  • P Prolong mealtimes
  • A Avoid hard-textured foods
  • C Chew excessively
  • T Turn away tablets/pills

    Important Safety Information and Indication

    Do not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.

    Before using DUPIXENT, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

    • have a parasitic (helminth) infection.
    • are scheduled to receive any vaccinations. You should not receive a “live vaccine” right before and during treatment with DUPIXENT.
    • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether DUPIXENT will harm your unborn baby.
    • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known whether DUPIXENT passes into your breast milk.

    Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.

    Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines or if you have EoE and asthma and use an asthma medicine. Do not change or stop your other medicines, including corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine, without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by those medicines to come back.

    DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:

    • Allergic reactions. DUPIXENT can cause allergic reactions that can sometimes be severe. Stop using DUPIXENT and tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms: breathing problems or wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded, fast pulse, fever, hives, joint pain, general ill feeling, itching, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, nausea or vomiting, or cramps in your stomach-area.
    • Joint aches and pain. Some people who use DUPIXENT have had trouble walking or moving due to their joint symptoms, and in some cases needed to be hospitalized. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening joint symptoms. Your healthcare provider may stop DUPIXENT if you develop joint symptoms.

    The most common side effects in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis include injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and joint pain (arthralgia).

    Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

    Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It's an injection given under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Your healthcare provider will decide if you or your caregiver can inject DUPIXENT. Do not try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver have been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 12 years of age and older, it's recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult. In children 1 to less than 12 years of age, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver.
