For patients with moderate to severe asthma, chronic allergic disease, nasal polyps, or chronic hives that remain poorly controlled despite standard medications, biologic therapy may offer a highly effective treatment option.
At Allergy Asthma & Immunology Institute, Dr. Laura Ispas provides expert evaluation and personalized management of biologic therapies designed to target specific pathways in the immune system and reduce chronic inflammation.
Biologic therapies are advanced, targeted medications made from living proteins that work on specific immune pathways involved in allergic and inflammatory disease. Unlike traditional medications that broadly suppress symptoms, biologics are designed to address the underlying immune drivers of disease.
These treatments are used in carefully selected patients after thorough evaluation.
Biologic medications may be used to treat:
Dr. Ispas evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate biologic therapy. Medications may include:
