In the case of a person with chronic hives, Xolair was a game - changer. They had hives all over their body for years. After starting Xolair, the hives started to disappear gradually. They were able to wear normal clothes again without worrying about the appearance of hives and the associated embarrassment. Moreover, they could sleep better at night as the itching had reduced a lot.
Another success story involves a child with allergic asthma. The child used to miss a lot of school days due to asthma attacks. Once on Xolair, the attacks became less frequent. This not only improved the child's health but also their academic performance as they were able to attend school regularly. The parents were also less worried about their child's well - being, which had a positive impact on the whole family.
Sure. A patient with severe asthma had very limited lung function before Xolair. After taking it, their lung function improved, and they could exercise more. For example, they could climb stairs without getting short of breath.
