SUMMARY: The FDA has approved Xolair, an injectable medication that reduces allergic reactions in people with food allergies, asthma, and nasal polyps. This provides relief for certain adults and children over the age of one. However, access to the medication could come with a steep price tag, with insurance generally covering the cost but the drug costing $3,000 to $5,000 per month for those without insurance. Some patients may be able to receive the medication at home, but most will need to get it in a doctor's office due to the risk of anaphylaxis. The main concern is whether insurers will cover the cost of the expensive drug.
