#56 - Biologic Therapies for Asthma

Part of the series: Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Innovations Podcast

This podcast was made in partnership with Allergy & Asthma Network, with funding support from AstraZeneca.

In this episode, we explore a new form of asthma treatment, Biologics. These innovative treatments offer targeted relief by addressing the underlying causes of asthma, leading to improved symptom control and a better quality of life. Dr. G and Kortney discuss the current biologics on the market for asthma treatment.

    • Omalizumab (Xolair)
    • Mepolizumab
    • Reslizumab
    • Benralizumab
    • Dupilumab
