I am in my mid-fifties and developed asthma over the last 3 years. For the past 18 months I had been on a repeating cycle of losing lung function until I was at approximately 50% of capacity and then going on prednisone. The time between taking prednisone would vary between 4 and 12 weeks. I would be on prednisone between 2 to 4 weeks. I finally got my first Nucala injection 3 weeks ago. At the...

I have adult onset persistent, uncontrolled asthma. Prednisone became a regular treatment over a two year period. After 6 months on Nucala, my asthma is now controlled without an exacerbation. Since receiving Nucala, I have not taken Prednisone!!!

I have been on many asthma treatments with very little success. After 4 treatments with Nucala, I can say that the results far exceeded my expectations. In 2015, I was hospitalized roughly every two months for asthma exacerbations. I have yet to be hspitalized since starting this treatment and day to day my symptoms are far less than they were. No major side effects or problems with this medication.
