Product Details

Dupixent Injection – Advanced Treatment for Eczema, Asthma & Sinusitis

Dupixent Injection contains Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema), asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). It works by blocking interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), proteins responsible for inflammation, helping to reduce symptoms, improve skin health, and support better breathing.

Uses

• Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Treats moderate to severe eczema in adults and children (6+ years old)
• Asthma: Reduces inflammation in moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma
• Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP): Helps shrink nasal polyps and relieve congestion

How Dupixent Injection Works

Dupilumab targets and inhibits IL-4 and IL-13, two key immune system proteins involved in allergic and inflammatory conditions. By blocking these pathways, Dupixent helps reduce itching, swelling, and inflammation, leading to better skin health, improved lung function, and relief from sinus congestion.
