FDA approves a drug to treat severe food allergies, including milk, eggs and nuts
Briefly

"While it will not eliminate food allergies or allow patients to consume food allergens freely, its repeated use will help reduce the health impact if accidental exposure occurs," said Kelly Stone with the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Genentech advises that a heath care provider monitors a person who is starting to use Xolair. The cost of the medication ranges from $2,900 a month for children and $5,000 a month for adults, though the cost could be brought down with insurance, according to the Associated Press.
