Nucala 100 mg Injection 1 ml

Your doctor may prescribe Nucala 100 mg Injection 1 ml for the following conditions:

• Severe eosinophilic asthma: Nucala 100 mg Injection 1 ml targets and reduces specific inflammatory cells in the lungs to prevent sudden, severe asthma attacks.
• Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: This medicine helps shrink polyps in the nasal passages to improve nasal congestion and restore your sense of smell.
• Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA): It helps reduce widespread blood vessel inflammation caused by an excess of certain white blood cells.
• Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES): It works to lower the abnormally high levels of inflammatory cells that can cause organ damage and severe flare-ups.

Using Nucala 100 mg Injection 1 ml as prescribed helps reduce inflammation caused by eosinophils, improve symptom control, and support long-term disease management. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

• Reduces severe flare-ups: Helps prevent asthma attacks and disease flare-ups, allowing you to breathe more comfortably and carry out daily activities with greater confidence.
• Reduces the need for oral steroids: Helps lower the reliance on long-term oral steroid treatment, reducing the risk of steroid-related side effects such as bone thinning and high blood sugar.
• Improves long-term symptom control: Helps relieve nasal congestion and sinus pressure caused by nasal polyps while providing consistent disease control, reducing emergency hospital visits and the need for nasal surgery.

• Follow your doctor’s recommendations for the correct dosage and timing of this medication.
• The first dose of Nucala 100 mg Injection 1 ml may be administered by the doctor. After that, your doctor may allow you or a caregiver to administer it at home. Check the label for directions and use it as advised by the doctor. Choose an injection site such as the thigh or abdomen; pinch the skin and inject the advised dose slowly and steadily.
• Rotate the injection site each time. Do not inject into skin that is red, bruised, or hard.

• Identify and avoid environmental triggers: Keep your living space free from common irritants such as dust, pet dander, mold, and strong perfumes.
• Avoid all exposure to tobacco smoke: Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke, as it directly damages sensitive airway linings and reduces the effectiveness of your medications.
• Monitor your breathing daily: Use a peak flow meter or keep a daily symptom log to track how well your lungs are functioning.
• Maintain a lung-healthy diet: Focus on eating anti-inflammatory foods like fresh berries, leafy greens, and fatty fish containing omega-3 fatty acids.

• Inspect the medicine before use: Check the solution inside the syringe or auto-injector before injecting. It should be clear to pale yellow or pale brown. Do not use it if it appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
• Rotate injection sites: Use a different injection site with each dose to help reduce the risk of skin irritation, bruising, or tissue damage.
• Do not share injection devices: Never share your injection device or reuse needles, as this can increase the risk of serious skin and blood infections.
• Continue other prescribed medicines: Do not stop or reduce the dose of your other asthma controller medicines, especially oral steroids, unless your doctor advises you to do so.
• Watch for allergic reactions: Be alert for delayed allergic reactions, which may occur several hours or even days after your injection.
