Omalizumab (Xolair) can be very effective for allergic asthma and may also help your eczema. However, because your IgE level is quite high (above 3000 IU/mL), standard dosing charts for omalizumab might not easily fit your needs. Your doctor will carefully evaluate if omalizumab is still the right choice, or if another targeted biologic medication might be safer and more effective for you. Please rest assured that there are wonderful, advanced treatments available to help you breathe easier and feel better.
