Xolair
Xolair is a monoclonal antibody; it is made up of immune system cells. It is used to treat allergic asthma, chronic hives with no known cause and nasal polyps. The mechanism of action of Xolair is different for allergic asthma versus chronic urticaria. When your immune system is affected by an allergen it can overproduce an antibody called IgE. It decreases the availability of free IgE for binding. This overproduction of IgE antibodies then triggers an allergic immune response.

How Does Xolair Work?
TREATMENT EDUCATION
By blocking IgE from binding to high affinity IgE receptors. Xolair reduces high affinity IgE receptors, limits mast cell degranulation (release of mediators), reduces blood and tissue eosinophils and minimizes the release of inflammatory mediators. You will be monitored after every injection for one hour due to the increased risk of anaphylaxis post injection.
What to Expect During Your Infusion
Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.
- Pure doesn’t believe in waiting rooms. You’ll be taken to your own private suite where you’ll check in and your nurse will take your vitals and complete a pre-infusion assessment.
- To begin the infusion, an IV line will be inserted into your arm or hand. The medication will be connected and the nurse will monitor the infusion carefully, especially the first few minutes, to watch for reactions or side effects and make sure you’re comfortable.
- When the infusion is complete, your IV will be removed and the nurse will apply a bandage. Your nurse will give you instructions on side effects to watch for and when to seek help. You may be asked to stay for a short observation period.
- You can resume normal activities, though you may feel tired or need to rest. Drink water and eat a light meal to help with fatigue or nausea.
