Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions about anti-IgE antibodies:
-
Would anti-IgE antibodies be effective at treating my condition?
-
What side effects might I develop while receiving anti-IgE antibody treatment?
-
How often will I require an injection? How long will the treatment continue?
-
Will using anti-IgE antibodies allow me to come into contact with allergens I currently avoid?
-
Will you be giving me the injection or will I be injecting myself?
-
Will I experience pain during the injection? What about after?
-
When should I begin noticing an improvement?
-
Will the results I experience from this treatment be permanent?
-
Is it safe for me to stop taking my other asthma medication if I feel the anti-IgE antibodies are working and I have not experienced any asthma symptoms?
-
Can I take anti-IgE antibodies if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
