Your doctor may perform an allergy skin test or blood test to make sure this medicine is right for you.
Omalizumab is injected under the skin. A healthcare provider will give you this injection every 2 or 4 weeks.
Your condition may not improve right away. For best results, keep receiving omalizumab as directed. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after a few weeks of treatment.
Omalizumab doses are based on weight. Your dose needs may change if you gain or lose weight.
If you also use a steroid medication, you should not stop using it suddenly. Follow your doctor's instructions about tapering your dose.
Seek medical attention if your breathing problems get worse quickly, or if you think your asthma medications are not working as well.
You may need frequent medical tests, such as allergy tests and lung function tests. Your stools may also need to be checked for parasites, especially if you travel.
