Abstract
In this review, we discuss the risks and adverse effects reported for the current Food and Drug Association (FDA)-approved biologics used in the management of asthma, including omalizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, and tezepelumab. Our review focuses on the risk of hypersensitivity reactions, infection, and malignancy. Where relevant, we have included information regarding the risk of cardiovascular disease and eosinophilia, and we have included specific information regarding vaccine use among patients receiving the above biologics. We also review currently available data regarding the use of biologics in the context of pregnancy. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive resource for providers utilizing these agents, so that they may adequately counsel patients about the risks of therapy and identify adverse events if they occur.
