Dupixent - Overview

People in need of a Dupixent prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Dupixent injections when appropriate to do so.

How Does Dupixent Work?

Dupixent contains the ingredient dupilumab and is produced by recombinant DNA technology. Belonging to a class of medications known as interleukin-4 receptor alpha antagonists, Dupixent medication works by blocking IL-4 and IL-13 signalling and can be considered a monoclonal antibody. The rationale behind blocking markers such as IL-4 and IL-13 is that many types of cells involved in inflammation, including mast cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes, express these interleukins. However, Dupixent's mechanism of action is not fully understood. Dupixent prescription medication is indicated for add-on maintenance treatment in some patients with moderate to severe asthma and as a treatment for some cases of moderate or severe eczema. Dupixent should not be used to relieve status asthmaticus or acute bronchospasm.
