I have a prescription from a doctor in Japan for an injection called Dupixent, which is effective for atopic dermatitis.
If there are any Hawaii residents who have received the same prescription, which hospital, with which insurance, and for how much

I would love to hear about your experiences and stories.

A friend of mine uses Dupixent and I asked him about it and he said he gets it prescribed by a dermatologist named Dr. Ryan Sato. He said his friend's insurance is HMSA. He said that without insurance it would cost him $1,000 a bottle, and that he has a friend who has Kiser insurance and gets his prescriptions from other doctors. Sorry I don't know the details as it is not my own, but I hope I can be of some help.

Thanks for the useful information. I am just glad to know the fact that I can actually get it in Hawaii.
Thank you for even telling us what type of insurance you have. I was really wondering how to get it after I come to the US, since it is a special medicine that is not yet recognized.
I will use this as a reference.

My son used them until last year.
Both hospital and insurance are Kaiser.
They won't give you ointment or drink medicine without test results that don't work, so if you are still in Japan and it is possible,
I think it would go smoothly if you get your current certificates and test results from your doctor.

The cost is about $ 700 for 3 months of one injection every 2 weeks, self-injection.
The reason I stopped was because my son got married and was told that it could affect his children if he continued.
I have now changed to UV treatment.

I myself have been in Hawaii for 30 years, but
in Japan, it was so bad that I got Zurumuke.
but in Hawaii, I feel better
because of the climate, humidity and clean air.
But my son was fine as a child, but it started to get worse when he was in high school.

Dupixent was developed in the U.S., so I think you can get a prescription from a dermatologist.
But it is expensive.

Thank you for your valuable experience. I will try to prepare the certificate of prescription in Japan. I often hear that symptoms improve under Hawaiian environment.
I hope it will be the same for me ・ ・ ・.
For 3 months' worth $ 700, certainly not cheap.
I will be happy to help.
