General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear patient,
Thanks for your concern about Xolair,
and welcome to HealthCareMagic.

I would directly answer your question by informing you that the drug Xolair,
also called as omalizumab, is not recommended for people who have a
history of serious allergic reactions requiring hospitalization. Xolaire can be
given for allergies, however a person can get allergic reactions to it, IF they have a history of hypersensitivity. Therefore, I would say that Xolair is not
recommended for you.

Please speak to a Doctor about your past history and inform him or her about your hospitalization. I am sure that if a detailed complete history
is provided, your doctor will definitely prescribe you another medication.

Please follow the above suggestions and feel free to repost on HealthCareMagic. You might feel that this information will help you.
