Xolair Will Be a New Option for Food Allergies

You may see more patients getting omalizumab (Xolair)...now that it’s approved to reduce the risk of food allergies.

This injectable biologic joins the oral med Palforzia...a powder that’s used to decrease sensitivity to peanuts in those who are allergic.

But omalizumab has an edge. It can be used to reduce allergic reactions to peanuts AND other foods...including eggs, milk, or cashews.
