Autoinjector FAQs

You will receive NUCALA for EGPA as 3 separate injections given at the same time in an office visit or at home every 4 weeks. You, your caregiver, or your healthcare provider will inject NUCALA just under your skin (subcutaneously) into your thigh or abdomen. Your caregiver or your healthcare provider may also inject in your upper arm. It is recommended that the individual 100-mg injections be administered at least 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) apart if more than 1 injection is administered at the same site.
If you receive your injection at your doctor’s office, you may be asked to stay in the office so your healthcare provider can monitor you for any allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Then you'll be able to leave, though sometimes serious allergic reactions can occur hours or days after you get your dose.
If administering at home, be sure to talk to your doctor about how to monitor for allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that can occur after a NUCALA injection, sometimes hours or days after you get your dose.
Tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you have any of the following symptoms of an allergic reaction: swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue; fainting, dizziness, feeling light-headed (low blood pressure); hives; breathing problems; or rash.

You or your caregiver should inject a dose of NUCALA as soon as you remember. Then, continue (resume) your injection on your regular dosing schedule. If you do not notice that you have missed a dose until it is time for your next scheduled dose, then just inject the next scheduled dose as planned. If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
