Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 What's this about hamster-testing? I'm new to the group. Went to a pulmonary specialist last week for the first time in many years and this doctor said he thought my asthma is mostly caused by allergy. He recommended Xolair and wrote order for the IgE testing. I'm rather skeptical about this. I'm allergic to all antibiotics (I react with swelling of lips & tongue and hives all over). I read that the Xolair is made from hamster ova and that it has traces of a chemical similar to the antibiotic gentamycin. So what's this about the " hamster testing " ?
