Hi All,

I have exciting news I have been on Dupxient since April of this year. My dermatologist  put me on it for my severe eczema which has completely cleared up. It has helped my asthma and chronic sinus issues. I also have AU and have been bald for 10 years with no hair growth.  My hair is starting to come back in. It is coming in as patches on my head. The only side effect I have experienced (which is very common) is dry eyes. I went to my eye doctor and he put plugs in my tear ducts and I use dry eye drops. The dry eyes are nothing compared to the benefits I have received. It is a miracle drug to me! I still wear my wig but there is hope! Dupxient is expensive but my health insurance covers it. Dupxient covers my co-pay so I pay 0 for my prescription. The FDA is looking at approving Dupxient for treating Alopecia.  So there is hope!

Thank you for sharing. Our dermatologist brought this up at a recent visit. Please keep us posted as you continue on this medication.Best of luck.

I will. I'm in my early 60's so my hair may not come back in as well as if it did when I was younger. But I will take what I can get :)
