Can you take Dupixent a day early?

There is not enough information to know if it is safe to take Dupixent (dupilumab) any time earlier than the recommended dosing schedule. This is because Dupixent was not studied this way. Taking your dose early often can lead to too much medication building up in your body, which may lead to side effects. If you need to take your Dupixent dose early, it is best to check with your healthcare provider first.

What should I do if I missed a dose?

If you miss your dose of Dupixent, what you should do next depends on how often you are taking it.

• If you are taking Dupixent every week: Inject the missed dose as soon as possible. Then, start a new weekly dosing schedule from the day you give the missed dose.
• If you are taking Dupixent every other week: Inject the missed dose within 7 days of the normally scheduled day and continue with your normal dosing schedule. If it has already been more than 7 days, skip the missed dose and give the injection at the next scheduled day.
• If you are taking Dupixent every 4 weeks: Inject the missed dose within 7 days of the normally scheduled day and continue with your normal dosing schedule. If it has already been more than 7 days, start a new every-4-week schedule from the day you remember to give your injection.

Missing doses of Dupixent can cause your symptoms to get worse. Try setting an alarm on the day your dose is due to help you remember. If you have questions about when you should take Dupixent, contact your healthcare provider.
