Benralizumab, a monoclonal antibody, offers a revolutionary treatment for asthma over steroids. Can it be offered to all asthma patients? Dr Nikhil Modi, senior consultant, respiratory and critical care at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, says: "Benralizumab is a special medicine used to treat severe asthma, especially for people who have high levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. However, it is not for everyone with asthma. This medicine works best for those whose asthma is hard to control with regular treatments like inhalers. For people with different types of asthma, benralizumab may not help as much. Doctors usually check the number of eosinophils in a patient's blood and how well their asthma is managed before deciding to use this treatment. So, while benralizumab can be very effective for some, it isn't the right choice for all asthma patients."
