Özet

Objective: Mepolizumab, an anti-interleukin 5 humanized monoclonal antibody, which is listed among the treatment options in the Global Initiative for Asthma 2020, is recommended as a step 5 therapy option for patients with uncontrolled severe eosinophilic asthma. Real-life data on adverse drug reactions of mepolizumab are limited. We aimed to analyze the safety profile of mepolizumab retrospectively among patients who were treated with mepolizumab with the diagnosis of eosinophilic severe asthma.
