Key takeaways

Anti-IgE medications are used to treat asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives), and nasal polyps. They also have other uses, such as managing allergic reactions. These medications work by blocking immunoglobulin E (IgE), a substance in your body that triggers symptoms of allergic reactions related to foods. By preventing IgE from attaching to cells, these medications help reduce symptoms like wheezing, itching, and nasal congestion. Anti-IgE medications are typically available as injections. Examples include Xolair (omalizumab).

OMALIZUMAB prevents the symptoms of asthma. It is often prescribed when other medications have not worked well enough or cannot be tolerated. It may also be used to treat nasal polyps, chronic hives, and food allergies. It works by reducing the release of substances in your body that cause allergy symptoms. This decreases inflammation of the airways and makes it easier to breathe. It also reduces itching. It can also reduce the body’s response to some food allergens after accidental exposure. Do not use it to treat a sudden asthma attack. Do not use it to treat emergency allergic reactions. Continue to avoid foods you are allergic to. It is a monoclonal antibody.
