  1. FACTS TIME:
    Xolair comes as a liquid solution inside prefilled syringes and as a powder inside vials. (Your doctor will mix the powder with sterile water to make a liquid solution.)
    Serious side effects of Xolair that have been reported include:

    heart and blood circulation problems, including heart attack, blood clots, and stroke
    combination of fever, joint pain, and rash (see note below)
    bone fracture
    boxed warning: anaphylaxis*
    cancer, including breast cancer, skin cancer, and prostate cancer*
    allergic reaction*

  2. Remember the last government vaccination people. Don't do it.

  3. Person persons lame thinking 🤔 medications does work for everything 😮foolish 😒 not everything use of medication some u natural 😮stuff as use of Yerba Yerbas some ppl use Botanica 😒 for stuff as natural stuff not all time

  4. After the covid vacine. Never gonna give my kid some crazy ass shot. Pharmaceutical companies need to show all data, not just the data they decide to give to the FDA

  5. This is not a new medication. It’s a new FDA approved use. When you have an MD come on to discuss medication of course they don’t know he difference.

  6. I wonder if that medication can also reduce the risk associated with CT. You have to consent to a form before you get CT because of the contrast material administered during the test. The reason you have to sign the form is because of this allergic reaction.

  7. I've found that my food allergies completely go away when I am outside of the US…

  8. Good. Maybe over-protective helicopter parents will have one less thing to bitch about regarding their kids' diets.

  9. Why not sent everyone forallergy treatment pens.

  10. Why everyone can allergy test in medicate and medicare ? All allergy ( skin ,blood ,etc)

  11. Didn't Donald J Trump Don't back Ok Work vote
