It is prescribed when the hives cannot be controlled with H1 antihistamine treatment. It is yet to be determined whether Xolair is effective for people younger than the ages specified. Xolair works by inhibiting the binding of the IgE molecule in specific cells of the immune system that contain histamine and heparin (mast cells and basophils.) By inhibiting the binding of IgE molecules, Xolair will lower the histamine levels, and so ward off or reduce any asthma attack or hives, and shrink nasal polyps. Histamine has many inflammatory effects on the body, one of which is to contract the smooth muscle tissue in the lungs. A flood of histamine can cause wheezing and make breathing difficult, along with flu-like symptoms (runny nose and watery eyes). It can also cause tissue swelling, itchy skin, and hives. Histamine is also one of the main chemicals involved in anaphylaxis, a severe and sometimes fatal allergic response to a previously encountered allergen.
