Buy Xolair

Xolair (Omalizumab) is used to treat moderate-to-severe persistent asthma in adults who have a positive allergy test to a year-round airborne allergen and whose symptoms aren't well managed with inhaled corticosteroids. It is also used to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) in patients unresponsive to treatment with antihistamines. It may also be used in the treatment of nasal polyps in adults whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with nasal corticosteroids. Furthermore, it is also used to reduce allergic reactions from accidental exposure to foods in patients aged one year and older with IgE-mediated food allergies. Xolair, containing the active ingredient omalizumab, is a monoclonal antibody classified as an anti-IgE medication. Xolair works by binding to immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are responsible for allergic reactions. By blocking IgE from attaching to receptors on mast cells and basophils, it reduces the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances that cause allergy symptoms, thus helping to control asthma, alleviate chronic urticaria symptoms, and shrink nasal polyps. It is worth noting that this medication should not be used for the emergency treatment of any allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and acute exacerbation of asthma.
