Looking for some answers about current medication

I'm looking for some insight or to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I recently had sinus surgery for multiple reasons and was prescribed Duprixent to help prevent polyps from returning since it was very severe. MY PCM cleared me to take the injections, but I was informed that it now makes me non-deployable since the medication requires refrigeration and is administered every 1-2weeks indefinitely. I was also told this could be an issue because of my current job.

My PCM hasn't mentioned anything, but I got a random call from medical in the beginning of February saying I was submitted for an AMRO, which could lead to an MEB. Has anyone else taken Duprixent and faced a similar situation? I'm just trying to understand what to expect since I haven't received much information from my PCM.

Yep. Biologics equal non deployment and MEB unless they can put you in a limited duty assignment. For my wife with polyps she ended up needing nasal rinses with steroids which created the same scenario where she couldn't deploy to Austere Environments. So you are in the same boat as others where a medication fixes the issue but affects your ability to deploy etc.
 
Im currently on a biologic medication for asthma. Was told the same thing about being non-deployable.
I'm currently in the IDES process. My case sat at the AMRO/pre-DES level for about 5 months before officially starting the MEB.

Thanks for the information. My big thing was the whole timeline. First time I've ever heard of an ARMO and my PCM just said to basically check my IMR for the next 4-12months to get an update.

Thank you for shedding some light on everything. First time ever having to deal with something like this and I feel I was given very little information.
 
I went through an MEB last year for severe asthma and had to take multiple corticosteroid medications and got retained back in NOV 2024. I started taking Dupixent in DEC 2024 and was told I would have to go through another MEB for Dupixent. I talk with my PCM on Monday to start writing the NARSUM for it. I've had to advocate for myself to get answers and determine what is going on and what my next steps are. If your PCM isn't giving you enough information, like my first one was, then I suggest speaking to your patient advocacy to see if they can find more info or point you in the right direction.
 
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've been in contact with my medical section and was told to just watch my IMR until it goes red. I'm currently trying to schedule an appointment with my pcm to discuss everything, but he doesn't have any opening for a bit. Luckily, I have a great First Sergeant who's trying to help the best he can.
