Re: 1 week before next Xolair shot

[Guest guest]

A lot of us see an increase in allergy/asthma symptoms as we approach

time for the next dose. I found that that stopped after about six

months on Xolair. My doc explained told me that I probably keep

producing new IgE that still needs to bind to the Xolair, hence the

slight increase in symptoms as I approach the next dose. or

someone else in the group who was getting a low dose got their doctor

and insurance company to approve a " booster " dose between shots and

has seen a lot of improvement with that.

Good luck,

Addy

we have a patient that used to receive 150mg once a month for several

months, maybe a year. she also notice by the 3rd week the week befor

her next xolair injection was due she tended to have increase

allergies. we then received the aproval for her to come in every 2

weeks now and is doing much better at every two weeks.

I am kind of the same way but have only experieced 6 shots. my dose is 225 and

we throw out 75 each time. i am thinking of taking the extra 75 or half of that

difference and see if I do better.

Joannana,

I have the same IgE as you 225 and the doctor throws away half the tube

each time I go in also.

Le me know what happens if you try using the extra 75 mg. I have

thought about asking the doctor to use the extra medication but so far I

have resisted.

Thanks Steve

Have a Good Day
