"Life-changing. Before Dupixent, I was always short of breath and constantly coughing up mucus plugs. About two weeks after starting, everything changed. Now, a few months in, no shortness of breath, I can climb stairs, go for super long (8 km) walks with no issues. The mucus plugs have completely disappeared. It's pretty much a last resort drug due to the $25,000/yr CAD price tag, thankfully, I was able to get coverage by a government program."

"Dupixent has been a miracle drug for me. I have been on it for four months now, and I noticed improvement within days after taking my first shot. My irritation and my coughing of my lungs and my throat just stopped. I was weaned off my daily steroids. I stopped taking my three breathing treatments a day. I am now down to just one inhaler a day. I also have a rescue inhaler that I have not had to use since I started Dupixent, and I was using my rescue inhaler multiple times a day. I have not had a flare-up or a bad lung infection since I started on Dupixent, and last year I had lung infections every couple of weeks. I was on antibiotics. I’ve had minimal mild side effects: just the dry eye and fatigue the day I take the shot and the day after. Other than that, no other side effects. This drug has changed my life!"

"It works, and I no longer have to take a rescue inhaler just about every two hours as I was taking it and at risk to my life. I have had no side effects except I no longer have asthma attacks, which I remember as a child were scary as I couldn't breathe."
