About Emzumab 150 mg Injection

Emzumab 150 mg Injection belongs to the class of monoclonal antibodies used to treat various conditions, including allergic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nose and sinuses) with nasal polyps and chronic spontaneous urticaria. Allergic asthma is a type of asthma triggered by allergens, leading to respiratory issues. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a prolonged inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses, persisting for at least 12 weeks despite treatment.
