NUCALA  (MEPOLIZUMAB):  This medication is used along with other medications to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. Controlling symptoms of asthma helps you do your normal activities and decreases time lost from work or school. Mepolizumab works by reducing swelling (inflammation) of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. Mepolizumab is also used to treat a certain immune system disease (eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis-EGPA). It helps to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing, shortness of breath, runny nose, facial pain) caused by the disease. It works by reducing swelling (inflammation) of the blood vessels and also decreasing the amount of certain white blood cells (eosinophils) which may cause the disease. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks or breathing problems. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.   FDA Approval Date: 2015-11-04 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Steroid Dependent Asthmatic Developed Asthma 2yrs after my Bone Marrow Transplant in March 2010. Started Nucala August 2020. So far only side effect is mild headaches. Peak flow levels after second dose are up from my base line of 600 to 620. Had asthma symptom only last week, but for the first time it wasn't that bad and peak flow only fell slightly. Think it's working for me. Still on 5mg of pred, but will reduce to 4mg after the 4th dose. M 32 3 months
