Taking DUPIXENT
Patient Portrayal
A DIFFERENT KIND
OF TREATMENT FOR AFRS
DUPIXENT is a form of medicine called a biologic and is taken by injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every 2 or 4 weeks, depending on age and weight.
HOW TO TAKE DUPIXENT
DUPIXENT can be given by your doctor in a clinic, doctor’s office, or self-administered at home.
Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver has been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 6 to less than 12 years old, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver. In children 12 years of age and older, it's recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult.
Once prescribed, DUPIXENT is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in accordance with the accompanying chart.
