“The itching and hives were unrelenting. I'd be dealing with it even when I was at work. My doctor helped me finally get answers and DUPIXENT helped bring me relief.” — Noah
PREDIAGNOSIS
Experienced first flare in mid-thirties out of nowhere, with persistent hives and intermittent swelling of the lips/angioedema for several months
Disruptive itch and recurring hives appeared randomly, at home, at work, wherever he was
Started at urgent care and was seeking answers, which included inquiring about allergy testing
MEDICAL HISTORY
Mildly elevated liver enzymes noted on routine labs
Type II diabetes
Chronic back pain
TREATMENT BEFORE DUPIXENT
Upon review of Noah's disease history and photos, he was diagnosed with CSU
Flares were still unpredictable; he never knew when they would appear
Itch and hives persisted even after H1 antihistamines were prescribed and updosed
He wanted to discuss treatment options as H1 antihistamines didn’t provide adequate control
He preferred a treatment option he could take at home after proper training, without having to take the initial doses at the doctor’s office
EXPERIENCE WITH DUPIXENT
After discussing all systemic treatment options available, Noah and his doctor decided on DUPIXENT
He reported experiencing fewer hives with less itch at his 24-week follow-up
