Do not use XOLAIR if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. In clinical studies malignancies were seen in 0.5% of patients receiving XOLAIR, compared to 0.2% of patients receiving placebo (an injection with no active medicine). Joint inflammation or pain, rash, fever, and swollen lymph nodes have been seen in patients taking XOLAIR. Talk to your doctor if you've experienced any of these signs and symptoms.
