WHAT XOLAIR IS USED FOR
_ALLERGIC ASTHMA (ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS _
_– 12 YEARS OF AGE AND ABOVE) _
Xolair (omalizumab) is indicated for
adults and adolescents (12 years of age
and above) with moderate to severe
persistent allergic asthma whose
symptoms are inadequately controlled
with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
_ALLERGIC ASTHMA (CHILDREN – 6 TO < 12 _
_YEARS OF AGE) _
Xolair is indicated as add-on therapy to
improve asthma control with severe
persistent allergic asthma who have a
positive skin test or in vitro reactivity to a
perennial aeroallergen and frequent
daytime symptoms or night-time
awakenings and who have had multiple
documented severe asthma exacerbations
despite daily high-dose inhaled
corticosteroids, plus a long-acting inhaled
beta2-agonist.
Xolair has been shown to decrease the
incidence of asthma exacerbations in
these patients. Safety and efficacy have
not been established in other allergic
conditions.
_CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS WITH NASAL POLYPS _
_(CRSWNP) _
Xolair is used to treat CRSwNP in adults
(18 years of age and older) whose disease
is not well controlled with their current
CRSwNP medicines. Xolair helps reduce
the size of the polyps and improves
symptoms caused by CRSwNP including
nasal congestion, loss of sense of smell,
post-nasal drip and runny nose.
_CHRONIC SPONTANEOUS URTICARIA (CSU) _
Xolair is indicated as add-on therapy for
the treatment of chronic spontaneous
urticaria in adult and adolescent (12 years
and above) patients with inadequate
response to H1 antihistamine treatment.
