Tezspire is the only biologic medication to target thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a key epithelial cytokine that sits at the top of the inflammatory cascade and can drive multiple inflammatory pathways and airway hyperresponsiveness.
Tezspire is indicated for the add-on maintenance treatment of adults and pediatric patients 12 years old and older with severe asthma. This medication is not for acute treatment of asthma or status asthmaticus.
Asthma causes airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. The airway epithelium is the first contact with viruses, pollutants, and allergens which can cause the release of TSLP which may lead to inflammatory pathways.
This medication has been shown to decrease airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Blocking TSLP has been shown to reduce 3 biomarkers over time, eosinophils, IgE and fractional exhaled nitric oxide as well as impacting tissue eosinophils and reduction in airway hyperresponsiveness.

Tezspire cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success.
We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.
Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!
Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your injection therapy.
