About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Nucala 100mg Injection: A Breakthrough for Severe Asthma
Nucala 100mg Injection contains mepolizumab (100mg), a monoclonal antibody that targets eosinophils - key immune cells involved in asthma exacerbations. It's specifically indicated for patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma who are experiencing frequent and bothersome symptoms.
How it Works: Nucala works by blocking the action of eosinophils, reducing their ability to contribute to airway inflammation and hypersensitivity reactions. This results in a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of asthma exacerbations.
Benefits:
* Proven efficacy: Nucala demonstrates sustained improvement in asthma control for patients with severe asthma, even after years of treatment.
* Intranasal administration: The convenient single-use pre-filled vial allows for easy administration by healthcare professionals.
* Rapid response: Patients may experience noticeable relief within hours of receiving their injection, providing fast access to symptom management.
Note: This medication should be used only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Always follow the prescribed dosage and regimen.

About Mepolizumab
Mepolizumab is an immunomodulator used to treat severe asthma and hypereosinophilic syndrome. It works by inhibiting interleukin-5 (IL-5), a key cytokine in eosinophil growth and activation. This medication is crucial for controlling asthma symptoms and managing eosinophilic disorders. In summary, Mepolizumab is effective in treating severe asthma and related conditions.
How It Works
Mepolizumab binds to IL-5, preventing it from interacting with its receptor on eosinophils, thereby reducing eosinophil levels and associated inflammation.
