Targeted biologic therapy for patients with difficult-to-control asthma
About This Service
Several injectable biologic medications have revolutionized asthma control for patients with severe or uncontrolled asthma. These targeted therapies work by blocking specific immune pathways that drive airway inflammation. Dr. Hsieh evaluates your asthma phenotype, determines eligibility, and can initiate and manage biologic therapy in our office. Many patients experience significant reductions in asthma attacks and improved quality of life.
Who Should Consider This Service
Patients with moderate-to-severe asthma that remains uncontrolled despite using two or more controller inhalers, those experiencing frequent asthma exacerbations or emergency room visits, and patients requiring oral corticosteroids to manage their asthma. Biologics target the specific immune pathways driving your inflammation, which is why standard inhalers alone may not be sufficient for your asthma type. An evaluation will determine which biologic medication is most appropriate.
