Are you experiencing a reaction to Dupixent with facial itching, soreness, and eye puffiness?

It's important to contact your doctor right away about these symptoms. While Dupixent (dupilumab) can be effective for prurigo nodularis, some people do experience side effects.

Common side effects of Dupixent include:
* Injection site reactions
* Common cold symptoms
* Muscle pain

* Throat pain

Eye-related issues and facial reactions can occur with this medication. Since you're experiencing facial itching, soreness, and puffiness around your eye, these symptoms warrant immediate medical attention to determine if they're related to the medication or something else.

Don't stop taking your medication without talking to your healthcare provider first. They can evaluate whether this is a side effect that needs management, if you need to adjust your treatment, or if another issue is causing your symptoms.

Your safety comes first, so please reach out to your doctor today to discuss what you're experiencing.
