Dupixent injection pain
I have found the auto-injector version of Dupixent to be quite painful, but it has been quite effective so I suck it up. When it was recommended for my granddaughter’s severe eczema, I ask a pharmacist if the pediatric dose was less painful. She suggested switching to the syringe which goes deeper, past pain receptors near the skin surface. Has anyone experienced a less painful way of getting Dupixent or has experience with use in kids?
I've never used the injections myself, but I wonder if your pharmacist would have some thoughts about how to make the injection less painful -- or maybe even a nurse at your doctor's office or a phlebotomist at your lab.
I also wonder if
has some tricks, since she has raised kids with asthma. -Melissa, team member
