Laurie,

You should ask your doctor about this. He/she really need to know.

If this had happened at my doctor's office they would have noticed it in a

heartbeat and apologized immediately and profusely! The 4 ladies in my

allergist's office who give Xolair are trained well before they are allowed to

even touch a patient.

Last week, I had my two xolair injections and regular allergy shot.

I yacked with the nurse during the xolair injections but when she gave me that

regular allergy shot WOAH BURN CITY! Quite normal LOL!

Some does tend to leak but not drip down your arm out This will happen at time.

I would not worry about it . The only thing I advise is that the medication is

injected very slow it should take 15 -20 seconds to administer the drug. In my

case I do tend to administer my patients injection very slow and 0 to no drug

leaks out if some does its not more than 2 - 3 drops of Xolair but never

dripping down their arm

My allergist won't let me get both on the same day. Since I'm on

every other week with both, I alternate which one I get each week.

It would be much more convenient of I could get them at the same time

(which I did for a few months until the dr nixed it).

Some techs cause me to bleed or bruise with the Xolair, some don't.

Never any dripping though!

My allergist wouldn't give me both at the same time either but he changed his

mind after seeing that I had done so well on Xolair for 5 years.

Joanna is my nurse and I can vouch for the fact that she does administer it very

slowly.  I have never had any drops leak after she gives me my injection!

Hi All,

I know some of you have self injected in the past and are more familair with the

technique. I have been getting X Injection for the last 3 years and recently

they had some staffing changes at my Dr. Office. The past few injections my

Xolair(I have 2 at once) has not all been getting delivered properly and has

leaked down my arm.

Any words of wisdom to advise the dr. Office on how to avoid this? I informed

the Doc and she will be present for my next injection. The only thing I know is

that the delivery since thick needs to be slow.

Has anyone else had this problem or can you give me the 411 on proper injection

procedures.

Much Thanks!

Any other people get the shots in your stomach? My stomach never drips.

Doesn't bother me at all.

i do get occassional leakage - usually on my legs. its not much, and certainly

not dripping down my leg (i self-shoot at the drs office). i mentioned it to my

dr and as i recall, she said the problem could be i'm not shooting it into an

area that has enough fat (hard to believe!!).

my legs bleed about 50% of the time, but i'm guessing its b/c i'm hitting a

somewhat hidden varicose vein.

i don't even inject into my arms - i find it very awkward. i get 3 shots every 2

weeks and i rotate b/w both thighs and both sides of my stomach (left/right

thigh and left/right side of stomach), so each time i get my xolair, one spot

gets a break.

do you only get your xolair in your arms? maybe look for a fattier part? or ask

the nurse to inject more towards the bottom of your arm where its typically

meatier??

good luck!

The nurse is always in a hurry and injects my arms in about 5 seconds each. She

tells me she has a strong thumb from giving Xolair injections. One or two drops

might run down my arms on occasions. That's all.
