Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Janice, Xolair is absorbed through the fat so 2 injections should probably not be combined. This is a delicate medication and the protocol must be followed to the letter. Allergists and Infectious disease doctors also give these injections. Some doctors still order it and bill the insurance company directly. You might call Genentech and ask if any doctors in your area provide this service.

My resp. and pcp do not have them. I got my first shot on Thur. No problem with it. She gave me only one shot but put two doses in one. It took a little while to give it and her poor finger had a dent in it, the stuff was so thick. So now I am officially a member here. While I was in the office I was talking with a woman who also gets the xolair. She said she has been on it for 3 years and really sees a difference. I sure hope it does the same for me. I wish you all a nice weekend..... ......... Jan May today be twice as good as yesterday and half as good as tomorrow.

My pulmo's office will not have it for at least another month, but did not send out any type of notice letting patients know that they could sign up to get it at the local health department.. .. Also, I'm wondering if any of you know of any workplace clinics. My husband is a public school teacher. They are offering the regular flu shot on site at his school next week for folks on the state health plan, including family members. They're saying they will get the H1N1, but who knows....

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Janice, My understanding is that there is a limit on how much Xolair is to be administered into the injection site. I don't know what your dosage is, but I would call in advance of your appointment and ask them to double check before they draw the shot(s) for your next dose. My understanding is that it has as much to do with how much can be absorbed in a single site as whether or not there is a potential for danger. I don't see any reason to panic, just to double check. You can go to www.xolair.com and a copy of the full instructions that come in the box with each vial and read it for yourself so you'll have the information you need to talk to your doctor or the staff about it.
