Members shared mixed experiences with Dupixent for prurigo nodularis, with some reporting significant lesion clearing and itch relief while others saw only subtle improvements or limited results even after several months of treatment. Several members highlighted the financial burden, noting copays ranging from hundreds to over a thousand dollars per dose, though some accessed manufacturer assistance programs or physician samples to help offset costs. A recurring theme was the variability in response times and outcomes, with improvement timelines ranging from weeks to six months, and some members experiencing side effects or worsening symptoms that led to discontinuation.

No, I do NOT prescribed DUPIXENT! (You obviously are making that snarky comment b/c of that belief!). In fact, it is those people with private insurance that can receive this discount. Besides, I am retired, and therefore do not prescribe medication. Get your facts straight before you make such ignorant assumptions!

My husband will take his 2nd set of shots tomorrow. He sows some signs of lesions healing. The itching gets worse when he gets hot and sweaty. We have requested the medication from manufacturer at cost with the help of our dermatologist. The price in Texas for a year is over $13,000.00. With our insurance it’s 5 tier drug and we are on social security. Ask your doctor for this brochure

After 6 months of using it, it appeared to cause outbreaks a couple days after. My doctor just stopped the Dupexent injections. Not sure what the next plan is. All quality of life is non existent for me.
