Drug Information: Omalizumab Injection
URL of this page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a603031.html
oh mah lye zoo' mabIMPORTANT WARNING:
| Omalizumab injection may cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. An allergic reaction may occur immediately after an injection of omalizumab is given or 24 hours or longer after the injection is given. People who did not have an allergic reaction to their first dose of omalizumab may have an allergic reaction after they receive another dose of the medication.Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction after receiving an injection of omalizumab. You should not receive omalizumab injection if you have ever had an allergic reaction to the medication.You will receive each injection of omalizumab in your doctor's office. You will stay in the office for some time after you receive the medication so your doctor can watch you closely. Tell your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms of an allergic reaction: wheezing or difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, dizziness, fainting, fast or weak heartbeat, anxiety, feeling that something bad is about to happen, flushing, itching, hives, feeling warm, swelling of the throat or tongue, throat tightness, hoarse voice, or difficulty swallowing. Get immediate emergency medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms after you leave your doctor's office.Your doctor will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) each time you receive an injection of omalizumab. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/cder) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.Talk to your doctor about the risks of using omalizumab. |
Why is this medication prescribed?
Omalizumab injection is used to decrease the number of asthma attacks (sudden episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, and trouble breathing) in people with allergic asthma (asthma caused by inhaling substances such as dander, pollen, and dust mites) whose symptoms are not controlled with inhaled steroids. Omalizumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies.It works by blocking the action of IgE, a natural substance in the body that causes the symptoms of allergic asthma.
How should this medicine be used?
Omalizumab injection comes as a solution (liquid) to inject subcutaneously (under the skin). It is usually injected in a doctor's office once every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks. You may receive one or more injections at each visit, depending on the dose prescribed by your doctor.
It may take some time before you feel the full benefit of omalizumab. Call your doctor if your asthma symptoms worsen. Talk to your doctor so that you know what to do if you have an asthma attack or breathing problems while using omalizumab. Omalizumab will not relieve the symptoms of a sudden asthma attack.
Omalizumab injection may be used along with other medications for asthma. Do not decrease your dose of any other asthma medication or stop taking any other asthma medication that has been prescribed by your doctor, unless your doctor tells you to do so. Your doctor may want to decrease your dose of some other asthma medications gradually.

What special precautions should I follow?
Before using omalizumab injection,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to any medications.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take.
- tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions and if you are being treated with allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots; a series of injections given regularly to prevent the body from developing allergic reactions to specific substances).
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while using omalizumab, call your doctor.
- talk to your doctor about whether there is a risk that you will develop a hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, or threadworm infection (infection with worms that live inside the body). If you are at high risk of developing this type of infection, using omalizumab may increase the chance that you will actually become infected.
