Biologic medications for Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps can make breathing difficult, cause congestion, and impact your quality of life. Biologic medications provide a breakthrough treatment by targeting the underlying inflammation that drives polyp growth. Unlike traditional treatments such as corticosteroids or surgery, biologics address the root cause, helping to reduce polyp size, prevent recurrence, and offer long-term relief. Our team will guide you through the process, helping you find the best treatment plan for lasting sinus health.

Dupixent and Nucala are biologic medications used to treat nasal polyps, especially in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). These medications are monoclonal antibodies that target specific proteins involved in the inflammation that causes polyp growth. Both Dupixent and Nucala are administered as a simple under-the-skin injection every two to four weeks, helping to reduce polyps and improve sinus symptoms over time.

Both Dupixent and Nucala are effective options for managing chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, particularly in cases that are difficult to control with steroids or other conventional treatments. These medications are often recommended when symptoms persist despite conservative therapies, when polyps are severe or recurrent, or when sinus surgery is not an ideal option.
