📋Overview
Mepolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-5, a protein involved in the growth and activation of certain white blood cells called eosinophils. It is primarily associated with conditions characterized by high levels of eosinophils, such as severe eosinophilic asthma. Mepolizumab is also linked to other rare eosinophilic disorders, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Its use reflects advances in biologic therapies for immune-mediated diseases.
