What is benralizumab used for?
benralizumab is an interleukin antagonist that is used as an add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma in people 12 years and older.
How does benralizumab work?
benralizumab is an interleukin antagonist. It blocks interleukin-5 (IL-5), a protein that normally makes white blood cells called eosinophils. Having high levels of eosinophils in the body can lead to inflammation, which plays a role in asthma. While the exact way benralizumab works to treat asthma isn’t fully understood, it’s known that the medication reduces the level of eosinophils in the body. This is thought to lessen inflammation in the lungs, which helps to ease symptoms of severe asthma.
