What class of drug is Tezspire (tezepelumab)?

Tezspire (tezepelumab) is a monoclonal antibody medicine. It’s used for asthma and works by targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a protein involved in airway inflammation.

How does it differ from typical asthma “controller” medicines?

Unlike inhaled corticosteroids or bronchodilators, Tezspire is not a small-molecule tablet or an inhaled drug. It is an antibody given by injection, aimed at a specific upstream inflammation signal (TSLP), rather than directly acting on airway muscles or steroid receptors.

What does “targeting TSLP” mean for its drug class?

Because it neutralizes TSLP, Tezspire is commonly categorized as an anti-inflammatory biologic for asthma rather than a steroid, bronchodilator, or combination inhaler.
