'Breakthrough' allergy drug: injection protects against severe food reactions

Asthma drug omalizumab shown to protect against severe food allergic reactions.
67% of those who received omalizumab could ingest small amounts of peanuts without reaction, compared to 7% with a placebo.

An Asthma Drug Can Drastically Reduce Food Allergies

Omalizumab (Xolair) can help reduce severe allergic reactions to food allergies by allowing tolerance to higher allergen doses and leading to milder reactions if exposed.

New FDA-approved drug makes severe food allergies less life-threatening

A new drug called omalizumab has been approved by the FDA to lessen allergic reactions to foods in people with multiple food allergies.
Omalizumab works by binding to a class of antibodies in the body called immunoglobulin E (IgE) that are specifically involved in allergic responses, preventing immune responses that lead to allergy symptoms.
