WHAT CINQAERO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT CINQAERO IS
CINQAERO contains the active substance reslizumab, a monoclonal
antibody, a type of protein that
recognises and binds to a specific target substance in the body.
WHAT CINQAERO IS USED FOR
CINQAERO is used to treat severe eosinophilic asthma in adult patients
(18 years of age and over)
when the condition is not well controlled despite treatment with
high-dose inhaled corticosteroids
together with another asthma medicine. Eosinophilic asthma is a type
of asthma where patients have
too many eosinophils in the blood or lungs. CINQAERO is used together
with other medicines to treat
asthma (inhaled corticosteroids plus other asthma medicines).
HOW CINQAERO WORKS
CINQAERO blocks interleukin-5 activity and reduces the number of
eosinophils in your blood and
lungs. Eosinophils are white blood cells involved in asthma
inflammation. Interleukin-5 is a protein
your body makes that plays a key role in inflammation in asthma by
activating eosinophils.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING CINQAERO
CINQAERO reduces how often you have flare-ups of your asthma, helps
you breathe better and
decreases your asthma symptoms.
