BEFORE USING DUPIXENT, TELL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER ABOUT ALL YOUR MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING IF YOU:

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
ESPECIALLY TELL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IF YOU are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines or if you have EoE and asthma and use an asthma medicine. DO NOT change or stop your corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine to come back.
DUPIXENT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING:

• JOINT ACHES AND PAIN. Some people who use DUPIXENT have had trouble walking or moving due to their joint symptoms, and in some cases needed to be hospitalized. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening joint symptoms. Your healthcare provider may stop DUPIXENT if you develop joint symptoms.
THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS IN PATIENTS WITH EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS INCLUDE injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and joint pain (arthralgia).
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT.

Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It’s an injection given under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Your healthcare provider will decide if you or your caregiver can inject DUPIXENT. DO NOT try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver have been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 12 years of age and older, it’s recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult. In children 1 to less than 12 years of age, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver.
