How Dupixent works
Dupixent blocks two signals behind eczema
Dupixent blocks two proteins, called IL-4 and IL-13, that drive type 2 inflammation. This inflammation causes the itch, redness and dry, cracked skin of eczema.
It is a biologic, so you receive it by injection. It calms the root of the inflammation, not just the surface.

Start my assessmentYour clinician decides if Dupixent is right for you. You share your history and photos, and a Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews them. If Dupixent is prescribed, a Canadian pharmacy fills it. First, your clinician checks if online care is suitable, because some patients need in-person care or specialist monitoring.
Dupixent is a biologic that blocks two proteins, IL-4 and IL-13. These proteins drive the inflammation behind eczema. When they are blocked, itch and redness often ease.
Many people notice less itch within weeks. Skin often keeps improving over the next months. Your clinician reviews your progress and decides if you continue.
Common effects are injection site reactions, eye redness or dryness, cold sores and joint pain. Serious allergic reactions are rare. Tell your Care Team about any eye pain or change in vision.
Do not use it if you had a serious allergic reaction to it. Tell your clinician about parasite infections, asthma, eye problems and vaccines. Live vaccines are not advised during treatment.
Options include stronger creams such as desonide or fluocinonide, crisaborole, cyclosporine and the pill abrocitinib. Your clinician looks at your age, your health and how severe your eczema is.
Yes. Many people keep using a moisturizer, and some use a cream during flares. Your clinician tells you what to keep. Tell your clinician about every medicine and vaccine.
There is limited data. Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan to be or breastfeed. Your clinician weighs the benefit and the risk with you.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
Dupixent is the brand name for dupilumab in Canada. It is a biologic, so it has no simple generic copy. Your pharmacist can tell you what is available.
Your clinician reviews your progress before a refill. Your Care Team sends the renewal to your pharmacy when your clinician approves it. Write to us before you run out, so that your treatment does not stop.
