Can you take Dupixent while pregnant?
Dupixent (dupilumab) is an injectable medication used to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, in adults and children 6 years and older. It is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for several other uses, including: As an add-on maintenance treatment for severe asthma in adults and children 6 years and older As an add-on maintenance treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in adults
As a treatment for prurigo nodularis in adults
As a treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in adults and children 1 year and older
Ultimately, this biologic drug acts as an immune system modulator, dampening the inflammatory symptoms of autoimmune conditions. The National Eczema Association reports that AD is more common in adult females than males. With that knowledge, you might wonder: Is Dupixent safe during pregnancy? We’ll cover what you need to know if you’re considering taking Dupixent while pregnant and why it’s so important to consult your healthcare provider about whether the risks outweigh the benefits.
