How it works
Dupilumab blocks the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor (IL-4Rα), suppressing the Th2 immune response that drives atopic dermatitis. Reduces IgE, eosinophils, and the pruritic inflammatory cascade.
Requires specialist prescription and regular review. Expensive — insurance/PBS coverage varies by country. Conjunctivitis is a common side effect (20–30%). Requires fortnightly self-injection. Not for active skin infections.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
