omalizumab

Omalizumab is a medication used to treat allergic conditions like moderate to severe asthma and chronic hives that don't respond well to other treatments. It works by targeting a specific antibody called IgE, which plays a key role in allergic reactions. By blocking IgE, omalizumab helps reduce the severity of allergic responses, leading to fewer asthma attacks and less hives. It is administered through injections, usually every few weeks, and is prescribed by a healthcare provider to help manage difficult allergies effectively.
