What is Nucala?

Nucala is a prescription medication taken to reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups of the following inflammatory autoimmune disorders:

• Asthma in adults and children aged 6 years and over (Nucala is used in addition to a current asthma medication)
• Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) in adults
• Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) in adults and children aged 12 years and over

The medication is injected under your skin (subcutaneous injection) once every 4 weeks. The injection can be given by your doctor or another healthcare professional. It can also be administered at home using a prefilled syringe or prefilled autoinjector, either by yourself or by a caregiver. Nucala reduces how much inflammation you have in your body, easing your symptoms and making flare-ups of more severe symptoms less likely.

Nucala active ingredients

The active ingredient in Nucala is called mepolizumab. Mepolizumab is a type of medicine called a humanized monoclonal antibody that has been designed to target a substance in your body that triggers inflammation.

Your immune system triggers inflammation in your tissues through a complex process with a number of steps. Mepolizumab works by blocking one of these steps. It attaches to and blocks a signaling molecule released by your white blood cells called interleukin. This stops interleukin from activating the next step in the inflammatory process and reduces how much inflammation you have in your body.

Inflammation in the body is an important part of how asthma develops. Eosinophils are one of the many cells in your body involved in inflammation. Blocking interleukin helps to reduce the production of eosinophils, reduce the inflammation and help to treat asthma.
