How this was calculated
Counted FAERS reports listing this active substance, then the reaction terms named most often. A report can name several reactions, and a term can describe the illness being treated and not an effect of the drug. Terms about product use or complaints rather than symptoms (for example product use in unapproved indication) were left out of the list.
Reports where FDA recorded dupilumab as a single-ingredient active substance (any brand), all years to 2026-10-28
FAERS reports are unverified and do not prove the drug caused the event. Reporting rises with use, publicity and lawsuits, so these counts cannot give rates or risks and cannot be compared between drugs.
