How Emzumab Combo Pack works
Emzumab Injection is a monoclonal antibody that works by targeting and blocking immunoglobulin E (IgE), a key antibody involved in allergic reactions. In asthma, IgE triggers inflammation in the airways when exposed to allergens. Emzumab Injection binding to IgE and preventing it from attaching to immune cells, reduces allergic inflammation and helps prevent asthma attacks.
