Is Xolair prescribed for people with environmental illnesses?

Xolair (omalizumab) injection is a medication used to treat types of allergic asthma, nasal polyps and chronic hives (chronic spontaneous urticaria). It may also be used to reduce the risk of allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) in adults and children aged 1 year and older with Ig-E-mediated food allergies. Xolair works by reducing the release of inflammatory substances that cause allergy symptoms, thereby decreasing allergic responses in the body.
