Mepolizumab is used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), asthma and psoriasis.

Mepolizumab belongs to a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking the action of some natural substances in the body that cause the symptoms of asthma such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, cough, and wheezing.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
