In the 4 years of being on Xolair, I have never had to wait more than

an hour and that was for the first 2 visits to the Dr for shots in 2003.

Since then, it has been wait 30 minutes (the same time they make us

wait for REGULAR allergy shots) and have my epi pen with me.

You are looking on the net for more info and that is the best place

besides asking your doctor.

My doctor only holds me about an hour. I do flash my epi-pen when I

get the shots and I think that helps get me out of there quicker.

Has anyone here had a bad reaction to Xolair, or know of someone

that has?
