HOW DUPIXENT IS TAKEN
Not an Inhaler. Not a Steroid.
DUPIXENT is a form of medicine called a biologic and taken by injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). It is taken differently than oral steroids and inhalers.
What you should know
DUPIXENT can be given by your doctor in a clinic or self-administered at home. If your healthcare provider decides that you or a caregiver can give DUPIXENT injections, you or your caregiver should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject DUPIXENT.
- In addition to the training from your doctor, explore the resources available in the Injection Support Center that may help you become more comfortable with injections.

I was a little nervous knowing I could
be giving myself an injection. So, I
asked my husband to administer the
injections for me after we both had
proper training from my doctor.
Today, I am now able to get back to doing the things that I love.
