Omalizumab is used by allergists to treat Allergies not responding to conventional therapy. Allergen avoidance however still remains the mainstay of therapy. Please follow your Allergist's counselling on this religiously!
Whenever a Doctor plans any medication, a risk/benefit analysis is done and only when the benefits overwhelmingly outweigh the risks, will any responsible Doctor advise you the treatment. If you Doctor deems that you need the treatment, please trust the Doctor's judgement.
