About Xolair 150mg Injection

Xolair 150mg Injection belongs to the class of monoclonal antibodies used to treat various conditions, including allergic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nose and sinuses) with nasal polyps and chronic spontaneous urticaria. Allergic asthma is a type of asthma triggered by allergens, leading to respiratory issues. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a prolonged inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses, persisting for at least 12 weeks despite treatment. Chronic spontaneous urticaria is defined by recurring episodes of hives and/or angioedema, resulting in itchy, bumpy skin rash and swelling beneath the skin.

Xolair 150mg Injection contains Omalizumab, which binds to Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a protein that triggers allergic responses. Xolair 150mg Injection blocks IgE from binding to allergens, thereby reducing the severity of allergic reactions and providing relief from symptoms associated with conditions like allergic asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
