Hi, Christie!
It may a while longer:
"Injection-related side effects usually happen within 1 hour of your injection and last for fewer than 8 days. In most cases, people who experienced these side effects were less likely to have them after receiving the medication for a longer period of time."
Let your doctor know right away that you're having problems with it!
"Once discontinued, Xolair may persist in the body for 6 months to one year."
"Omalizumab: a review of its use in the management of allergic asthma
Omalizumab is slowly absorbed after subcutaneous administration, and mean elimination half-life is 26 days, thus allowing infrequent administration of the drug."
