Xolair Treatment and Use

Xolair | Omalizumab injection is a monoclonal antibody manufactured by Genentech as a solution which is injected underneath the skin. Xolair blocks to activity of a naturally-produced substance known as IgE, which causes the symptoms of allergic reactions in the body, specifically those which are asthma-related.

Xolair | Omalizumab injection has been approved for the treatment of asthma-related allergies in adults and children at least 12 years of age or older. Xolair has also been used to decrease the amount of asthma attacks a patient experiences.

Although Xolair is usually prescribed to patients as a treatment to succeed where previous medications have failed, it should not be used as a rescue medicine, and will not treat an asthma attack after it has started.
