Guest guest Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think there's a diet drug by a similar sounding name. Is it Xanex? It's totally unrelated to Xolair and is not used for asthma or allergies. It's just one of those goofy things where names of meds are similar but the meds are in fact totally dissimilar. People sometimes misunderstand (has happened in my family) and even doctors and nurses have apparently thought I was talking about some other drug. Always wise to be sure that we're on the same page when we talk about Xolair to a doctor or nurse. The other issue I've run into is that Xolair is an allergy med so health care people as well as lay people sometimes don't take it seriously - they think it's just some sort of antihistamine.
