TEENS
(12-17 years)
When kids grow into teenagers, they experience plenty of milestones on their asthma journey. Use the tips below to help
guide your teen along the way.
Taking on More Responsibility
As teens mature, they can become more independent in managing their
condition. Here are a few pieces of advice from real caregivers:
Encourage your teen to keep a symptom journal so they can discuss any
changes with their doctor.
Allow your teen to take an active role in their care and ask
questions during appointments.
Create a care plan for when your teen is away from home, including
injection reminders, receiving and storing DUPIXENT shipments, and
administering injections.
DUPIXENT MyWay Nurse Educators can provide you with supplemental injection
training in person, virtually, or by phone. This training can be coordinated through your
DUPIXENT Case Manager by calling 1-844-DUPIXENT (1-844-387-4936) Option 1.
Please note that your first injection training will need to come from your doctor’s office.
