SIDE EFFECTS OF XOLARE
MEDICATION XOLARE
The new medication, XOLARE, is in a completely new class of
asthma and alergy
treatment – it stops the allergic
reaction before it even starts. All previous medications
have worked on alleviating different processes in a chain
reaction, which is set off in the respiratory system when an
asthma patient is open (uncovered) to allergic substances.
XOLARE medicine is the first to stop the reaction from
happening in the first place.
This medication helped some patients to feel better than
they ever dreamed. However, XOLARE is not for everyone –
patients must undergo allergy and blood tests to be
pre-certified for insurance coverage of the medication. Some
insurers have been unwilling to cover or slow to pay for the
treatment. And without insurance coverage, the treatment is
very expensive for most people. In addition, the medication
is approved by the FDA only for adults and adolescents, ages
12 and older.
SIDE EFFECTS OF XOLARE
The most common side effects in patients who received XOLARE
in clinical studies include: Injection-site reaction (45%),
Viral infections (23%), Upper respiratory tract infection
(20%), Sinusitis (16%), Headache (15%) and Sore throat
(11%). Injection-site reactions included redness, warmth,
bruising, burning, and stinging. They usually occurred
within 1 hour following injection, lasted for less than 8
days, and happened less often as the patient continued
receiving the treatment. Other side effects included pain,
broken bones, leg pain, arm pain, tiredness, joint pain,
dizziness, itching of the skin, skin rash, and earache. Any
other side effects resulting with XOLARE treatment may be
contacted with the physician for proper diagnosis.
