Biologic Therapies

Advanced Treatment Options for Difficult-to-Control Allergic Diseases

Biologic medications have transformed the way we treat more advanced disease including severe asthma (both allergic and eosinophilic), severe atopic dermatitis (eczema), chronic hives, nasal polyps, hypereosinophilic syndrome, and food allergies.

These targeted therapies are designed to act on specific pathways within the immune system helping reduce inflammation, improve symptoms and decrease reliance on medications that can have long term side effects such as oral steroids.

Biologic drugs are complex drugs and can only be prescribed by a board certified allergist familiar with the evaluation and management of patients with advanced disease and are not available through primary care doctors. Our physicians have extensive knowledge and expertise in using these drugs.
