(CRSwNP) can be challenging.

Derek, a 43-year-old candidate for Dupixent® (dupilumab) for treatment of uncontrolled nasal polyps (CRSwNP)
Derek, 43

Loss of Smell

Landscaper

Home brewer, guitar player

Derek didn’t think too much of his mild nasal blockage that often made it difficult for him to fall asleep in his mid-20s. But after symptoms worsened 2 years ago—making it difficult to smell his home-brewed beers—a nasal polyps diagnosis and multiple rounds of failed treatments led Derek in search of another treatment for his loss of sense of smell and increased nasal congestion.
