Tina's severe COPD has made everyday tasks like walking her dog or baking for her family feel exhausting and unpredictable. Even though she's on treatment, she has a flare-up every few months.
Tina understands that her COPD is severe but wonders whether she's just managing symptoms rather than addressing a root cause.
She's heard DUPIXENT may help reduce the number of flare-ups and improve breathing and wants to talk to her doctor about it.
Tina is not an actual DUPIXENT patient.
