Xolair®

Understanding Xolair®

Xolair® is used to treat allergic and inflammatory conditions, including moderate-to-severe persistent asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and nasal polyps. It works by targeting and binding to immunoglobulin E (IgE), a key antibody involved in allergic reactions. By preventing IgE from activating mast cells, Xolair® reduces inflammation, minimizes asthma attacks and hives, and helps control the growth of nasal polyps.

How Xolair® Works:

  • Binds to IgE, preventing it from triggering allergic reactions.
  • Reduces inflammation, improving asthma control and reducing hives.
  • Helps shrink nasal polyps, improving breathing and reducing symptoms.
