elevated prolactin from Xolair administration?

[Guest guest]

I had elevated levels of prolactin about 20 years ago - not unusual in

women. It disappeared about 3 years ago although I'll admit it hasn't

been tested since. But, never even thought of it related to Xolair.

Is there a special reason for the question?

The reason I ask is that my serum prolactin level doubled in the wake of Xolair

administration and has returned to normal since the trial was stopped. I'm not

aware of any other possible culprit. However, my serum prolactin has risen and

fallen before mysteriously.

I haven't taken prednisone and don't currently have ongoing asthma, although I

remain susceptible to episodes.

In some rodent studies, excessive histamine binding to receptors in the brain

have been associated with surges in serum prolactin. I believe this is

consistent with my experience.
