Re: Re: IgE Levels and Xolair

[Guest guest]

The formula is: .016 x your weight in Kg x your IgE divided by 2. Or, (.016 x

Kg x IgE) / 2 I believe this is the bi-weekly dose for individuals with high

IgE levels. Hopefully Jo Ann will correct this if I made a mistake but I think

it's right.

for the word " formula " you will find a

formula that joannana posted for determining Xolair dosage for

patients with really high IgE. She is a Xolair nurse in an

allergy/asthma practice.
