Dupixent – Usage, Side Effects and Dosage

Overview of Dupixent Dosage

Many factors may determine the Dupixent dosage, such as the body weight, age, medications you are taking, medical conditions you have, and the condition you want to treat with Dupixent. In many cases, a doctor tends to start with a loading dose. This means you will take a higher dose at the start of treatment, which allows for quicker effects. After this period, the treatment will continue with maintenance doses, which is lower, to keep a stable medication level in the body. Lastly, the doctor will determine the possible smallest dosage to deliver the desire effect. You do not need to take Dupixent every week. Instead, it should be injected every 2 weeks. [5]
