In June 2015, the FDA approved a new medication called Mepolizumab for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma in patients 18 years or older.  This is an exciting advancement in the treatment of asthma for those patients who are on high doses of inhaled steroids and continue to have regular exacerbations, frequent visits to emergency rooms or hospitalizations or are dependent on steroids such as prednisone.  This new medication has been shown to reduce rates of hospitalizations or ER visits and also reduce rates of asthma exacerbation. Dr. Kim feels that Mepolizumab will be a potent medication to help control severe asthma.  Ask the doctors at Sunshine Allergy about your  medications if your asthma is difficult to control.
