Re: does anyone get MORE than 375 mg??

[Guest guest]

I'm in the same boat! I often wonder (every two weeks) why I just

can't take the " wasted " Xoliar.

I will follow instructions but.....

What about taking 300mg every 2 weeks and taking your 75 mg on day 8

or 9?

Adding the flovent at day 9 or 10 is a good idea.

Hi :

I get 375mg every two weeks too, and around day ten (after having shot) my

sinuses start up again, quite bad, as if a cat is sitting on my lap. Recently,

the Asthma kicked up too. I asked the nurse who gives me the shots about this,

but I didn't get any info. this week I go back and intend to speak to the

doctor. I'll let you know what she says.

I would haved asked her... " What side effects? Xolair is not supposed

to have any "

[Guest guest]

The doctor said it, as if she didn't know of what side effects that would

develop, but she was concerned with stirring something up. I will ask her in

two weeks.

I just had my first double dose for my once a month Xolair. I feel rather

crummy tonight, arms feel heavy, feel a little tired and fuzzy headed. Has

anyone else had a reaction to doubling up on shots?
