About This Medication

# DUPIXENT MyWay Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Dupixent (dupilumab) at Low or No Cost Dupixent (dupilumab) is an injectable biologic medication used to treat conditions like moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, and prurigo nodularis in adults and certain children. The **DUPIXENT MyWay Patient Assistance Program**, offered by manufacturers **Sanofi and Regeneron**, provides Dupixent at low or no cost to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income guidelines[1][2][3]. ## About Dupixent Dupixent works by blocking two proteins, IL-4 and IL-13, that cause inflammation in allergic and inflammatory conditions. It's given as a subcutaneous injection every 2 or 4 weeks, depending on the condition, dose, and patient age. Common side effects include injection site reactions, eye problems (like conjunctivitis), and cold sores. Always follow your healthcare provider's (HCP) instructions and report side effects to your doctor or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088[1][7].
