What is Biologic Therapy?

Biologic therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses specially engineered proteins to target specific immune system components responsible for allergic and inflammatory conditions. These therapies can help manage chronic issues such as asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and nasal polyps, reducing inflammation and preventing severe allergic reactions. Biologic therapy offers a more targeted approach to treating underlying causes, providing long-term relief from chronic conditions.

How Does Biologic Therapy Work?

Biologic therapies block specific molecules in the immune system that trigger inflammation. By targeting these proteins, biologics help reduce the body’s overreaction to allergens and decrease the severity of symptoms associated with asthma, sinusitis, or nasal polyps. Delivered through injections or infusions, biologic therapy provides ongoing control of inflammatory conditions, helping patients manage their symptoms more effectively.

Who is a Candidate for Biologic Therapy?

  • Patients with moderate to severe asthma that is difficult to control with standard medications
  • Individuals suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis or nasal polyps
  • Those with frequent, severe allergic reactions or inflammation that impacts daily life
  • Patients who have not responded well to traditional treatments for allergic or inflammatory conditions
  • People seeking a long-term, targeted approach to managing chronic allergies or inflammation

What Can Biologic Therapy Treat?

Biologic therapy targets and treats various chronic allergic and inflammatory conditions by addressing the root causes of inflammation in the immune system. This innovative treatment can deliver real-world results for patients who haven’t responded well to traditional therapies. Conditions treated with biologic therapy include:

  • Moderate to severe asthma that is resistant to standard medications
  • Chronic rhinosinusitis, especially with the presence of nasal polyps
  • Eczema and other severe skin conditions linked to allergies
  • Allergic reactions and conditions causing chronic inflammation
  • Autoimmune diseases affecting the respiratory system
