Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I went through some of the archives, but thought it would be easier to just introduce myself and ask my questions!! HI, I am Amy!! I am not the Xolair user, it has been presrcibed for my 12 y/o son. He is 5'2 and 88 lbs (don't know if his size matters when it comes to the dosing)! Well, he is on Nexium (reflux), Advair 500/50, singulair, zyrtech, nasonex and astilin (sp), albuterol or zopenex and prednisone on occasion and daily nasal rinse w/saline solution. He also gets allergy shots and this Xolair thing is new. I am just wondering about insurance coverage (ours will cover 90%), side effects and any kind of benefit after the shots stop. I know that after 3-5 years of allergy shots, he could be immune for 3-5 years, are their any lasting effects with Xolair and, how long is it usually prescribed for and do any of you know if this is safe for a growing adolescent? Thanks in advance!! Amy (mom to Mason, Garrett, Jordan & Logan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
