Omalizumab
Generic alternative to Xolair
Omalizumab, sold under brand names such as Xolair, is a monoclonal antibody medication designed for the treatment of asthma and chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). It works by inhibiting the binding of immunoglobulin E (IgE) to the high-affinity IgE receptor on the surface of mast cells and basophils, reducing the release of allergy mediators.
How is this medication used?
Omalizumab is administered through subcutaneous injections. The dosage and frequency of administration depend on the patient's body weight and serum IgE levels, which must be determined prior to the start of the treatment. It is typically given once every two to four weeks.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of omalizumab include injection site reactions, headache, and fatigue. Rare but serious side effects can include anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, and an increased risk of parasitic (helminth) infections.
What are the potential interactions?
There are no well-documented specific drug interactions for omalizumab. However, it is important to inform the healthcare provider of all medications and supplements the patient is taking, as omalizumab may interact with other treatments, especially those affecting the immune system.
