WHAT IS BIOLOGIC THERAPY YOU ASK???

Biological therapy is a form of treatment that uses portions of the body's natural immune system to treat a disease. Biological therapy is also used to protect the body from some of the side effects of certain treatments.

BIOLOGIC THERAPY TREATMENT for the following:

Severe Asthma and Eosinophilic Asthma
Severe Eczema
Chronic Rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis
Chronic urticaria.

Which biologic first?

The availability of biologic therapies, whether limited by health insurance, prescribing guidelines or other factors, will be the first factor dictating choice. With that consideration, for the patient on mOCS we would limit the choice to those with proven steroid-sparing efficacy in controlled trials:

We currently work with the following therapies below:

Dupilumab (DUPIXENT)
Omalizumab (XOLAIR)
Mepolizumab (NUCALA)
Reslizumab (CINQAERO)
Tezepelumab (TEZSPIRE)

If you have an allergy, your body is reacting to something you inhale, touch, eat. The substances that trigger an allergic reaction are called allergens. Reactions to these allergens range from annoying to life-threatening.

Many people with untreated allergy symptoms aren’t aware of how much better they can feel once their symptoms are properly diagnosed and managed by an allergist / immunologist, often referred to as an allergist.

An allergist is a pediatrician or internist with at least two additional years of specialized training and is the best physician to diagnose and treat allergies and asthma.
