Nucala (mepolizumab) "I'm 64, was put on disability at 62 due to severe cough asthma and reflux. Prednisolone helped a bit, but a skeleton X-ray showed severe loss of bone structure. Was given first Dupixent for 3 months, no improvement, then Nucala. I've been on it every 4 weeks since. Asthma and cough are gone, but I produce a lot of snot and have some hair loss. All in all, so far I give Nucala 9 out of 10 in my personal opinion. PS. Still use Flutiform inhalation in the morning, and I have some issues with hypertension and prostate that I medicate with pills and yearly check-up (Norway national healthcare system)."

Nucala (mepolizumab) "I have had 5 injections for asthma. I think it helped, but the back pain, chest pain, itchy torso, itching scalp are unbearable at times. In addition, I developed a urinary tract infection and diverticulitis. GI doctor says the chest pain may be esophageal. I have had chest x-ray, chest scan, heart CT scan - all show nothing unusual. But I don't know what I will do when asthma symptoms recur because the pain is hard to live with every day."

Nucala (mepolizumab) "No issues in the injection area. Nothing immediate or that day of the shot. Headaches, but not until the next day or two. It may not be related to Nucala. I've had the 3rd shot now, and I feel a little nausea, but it's been two days."

Nucala (mepolizumab) "I'm from Argentina and have had asthma since I was 8. I started using Nucala 2 years ago. It took at least 8 to 9 months to have an effect on my body, but it was amazing. Before Nucala, I used to nebulize 6 or 7 times a day and would wake up at night at 3 am because I needed a nebulization. I even had a nebulizer with a battery to use on trips, but now I have it stored away. Nucala changed my life. It's a pen, which I press to my tummy, and after hearing one click, 20 seconds later, I hear a second click, and that's it. I use it once a month and have had no side effects."

"Been diagnosed with Asthma and COPD in 2007. My Asthma got worse over the years, was on steroids but nothing seems to help, been hospitalised in 2017 twice. My doctor recommended to try Mepo. I started in August 2018 it took some time before I felt the difference. But I say that I have less problems since I got the injection, less infections bit more energy. I get my last one this month and see my doctor if I can continue with the injection. I believe that it will definitely help me to cope with my asthma and improve my life style."
