Dupixent Dosage for Asthma and Missed Dose
To treat asthma in people who are at least 12 years old, the doctor will start with an initial dose of 400 mg, with 200 mg for each injection. After this, each injection of 200 mg will be injected every 2 weeks. There is also another option with the first dose of 600 mg, which should be injected in two 300 mg dosages. After this, each injection of 300 mg will be injected every 2 weeks. The second option is more suitable for those people who have co-morbid moderate-to-severe eczema or who are taking oral steroids.

In most cases, it is possible to take a missed dose within one week. After that, you may continue with the normal schedule. However, if it has been more than one week since the missed dose, you should skip the dose and then get the next one on the usual schedule. For people with eczema, Dupixen can be injected every four weeks. In that case, a missed dose can be taken at any time. However, it is still better to take it within one week of the scheduled day.
