Descriptions


Dupilumab injection is used alone or in combination with other medicines (eg, topical corticosteroids) to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in patients who have been treated with topical medicines that did not work well or who cannot use topical treatment.

Dupilumab injection is also used together with other medicines to treat moderate to severe asthma in patients whose asthma is hard to control or who are dependent on steroid medicines.
