Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 A few days ago, made this statement in one of my posts: <<If reactions are a serious concern then, why aren't we required to have epi pens and wait 2 hours after a regular allergy or penecillin shot? These have caused FAR more reactions than xolair in the past 4 years since xolair came out on the market.>> I asked my Xolair nurse today why we were not required to bring our Epi-pens when we get our regular allergy shots. She replied: " Didn't they tell you yet? Dr._______ requires a 30 minute wait instead of 20 and is also requiring evereone to bring their twin jet or epi pen and keep it with them the rest of the day. " Well, I stand corrected! ) My doctor is new to our practice and is a little more cautious than other allergists I have had. I like that!!! Hmmmmm, in his office, Xolair and allergy shots have the same rules, wait and instructions. Interesting! Doug Group founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
