xolair injection and infection

[Guest guest]

my pulmonologist said I have a sinus infectiion with a fever today. I have to

be on an antibiotic for 2 weeks. He told me I could probably take the injection

on Monday. Do you take it if you are wheezing, on an antibiotic with a sinus

infection? That is not what you guys are telling me.

Hi Leigh!

Congratulations on your approval and getting the go-ahead from your doctor

to begin Xolair treatment.

I myself have gotten Xolair under EXACTLY those conditions. For the longest

time, I was almost constantly wheezing, so that wasn't a very big factor for

me when my doctor determinded whether or not I could get Xolair.

I have also gotten Xolair at least five times during sinus infections and

even a couple of times while recovering from pneumonia or bronchitis. All

times I was on levaquin, a very strong antibiotic.

Now, since everyone is different, and everyone's doctor is different, no one

can tell you what is right for YOU except your doctor. Since your doctor

has given you the green light to receive your injections, I say jump at the

chance and go for it.

However, if you still have any reservations on the injection day, go over

any questions with your doctor and see what he says then.

Good luck, I hope you have the same success as so many of us have had!!

For what it's worth, my doctor will let me get the Xolair shot if I have an

infection.
