This is a type of severe asthma associated with high levels of a type of white blood cells (called eosinophils) in the lungs, which cause inflammation and make breathing difficult. The active ingredient in Fasenra, benralizumab, is a monoclonal antibody that works by reducing eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that causes inflammation in this type of severe asthma. Fasenra is used in combination with other medications, when asthma is not well-controlled.

Fasenra is injected subcutaneously, or under the skin, and can be injected into the thigh or abdomen. It can also be administered into the upper arm by a healthcare provider or caregiver. 

Fasenra is generally administered once every 4 weeks for 3 doses, then once every 8 weeks after that.
