Dupilumab was a game changer for me and allowed me to come off steroids and even the topical biologics. It’s a self-injection given every two weeks, which takes a little getting used to but is manageable once you’re comfortable with it. Cost can be a real barrier even with insurance, depending on your plan and deductible. That said, the manufacturer often offers copay assistance or rebate programs that can significantly lower out-of-pocket costs and make treatment much more affordable.
