Nucala

Nucala (mepolizumab) is a maintenance medication for adults and children at least six years old with severe eosinophilic asthma. While it helps prevent severe asthma attacks and improve breathing, it is not to be used as a rescue inhaler during an attack. One of the greatest benefits of Nucala is that most patients taking Nucala can reduce their use of oral steroids or even eliminate steroid use completely.

Nucala comes in pre-filled auto-injectors and is self-administered by subcutaneous injection once every four weeks. (It can also be administered by a health care professional in a medical office setting.)
