Re: Will start Xolair soon

[Guest guest]

It's my understanding that there ARE people out there with levels

above the " accepted range " getting treatment. Ask your doc to

contact the Xolair rep about how to get approval and dosing info.

Hi All!

My IgE was 1100 and my pulmo/allergist/immuno I think told a

little lie to get me approved for Xolair to my insurance co. (I'm on

150mg every 2 weeks, the largest dose on the Xolair website). I've

been taking Xolair for 21 months and have not noticed a big

difference, but my doctor says that without the Xolair I would be a

lot worse, so I guess I just have to trust him on that one. I'm

still on 15mg of pred every other day, so maybe that's why I haven't

noticed a big change. But anyway just wanted to share that people

with IgE's above the reccomended dosage range can still be treated

with Xolair.

Correction - my dose is 375mg every 2 wks. not 150mg as I stated

before its 150mg per box.
