FASENRA® Infusion Therapy
About FASENRA® Injection Therapy
FASENRA® is a medication for adults with severe eosinophilic asthma, a specific type where certain white blood cells (eosinophils) cause airway inflammation. It's used when standard treatments like strong inhaled steroids and long-acting inhalers aren't adequately controlling symptoms. Fasenra works by reducing these inflammatory cells, improving breathing and asthma control. It's not a first-line treatment, but rather an additional therapy when other options aren't sufficiently effective.
Condition treated by this therapy
FASENRA® is used in the treatment of patients with severe asthma aged 12 years and older, and with an eosinophiic phenotype.
