How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (XOLAIR). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Asthma, Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps, and IgE-Mediated Food Allergy Omalizumab inhibits the binding of IgE to the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) on the surface of mast cells, basophils, and dendritic cells, resulting in FcεRI down-regulation on these cells.
In allergic asthmatics, treatment with omalizumab inhibits IgE-mediated inflammation, as evidenced by reduced blood and tissue eosinophils and reduced inflammatory mediators, including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13.
Intact IgG was also excreted in bile.
IgE-Mediated Food Allergy Population pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses of omalizumab suggested that the PK of omalizumab in patients with IgE-mediated food allergy were generally consistent with that in patients with asthma.
