My pulmonary dr brought something up at my last appointment. Has anyone heard of Biologics for copd. It is a daily injection. Just curious if anyone has heard of this treatment or even possibly on this. Thanks
My doctor just started me on Trelegy and said that if it doesn't work well enough, he will want to start me on biologics.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that Trelegy is a good fit for you! Every person is different, but I feel like we get a lot of positive feedback about it around here. Hope that's the case for you, too!
I don't have biologics for COPD per se, but I have been on different biologics for over 20 years and know many people who have. They have been a game changer in a number of cases that I've known personally, and although it may take time to find the right one, it can be worth it. There are side effects, like any medication, but you can talk to the doctor about that and see if it's right for you! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
Hi
and . Here is an article about biologics and COPD: https://copd.net/living/talking-biologics. I hope this helps. It's very interesting. If either of you do end up a biologic, we'd love to hear about your experiences. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
