About This Medication

# XOLAIR Co-pay Program Patient Guide: How to Get Omalizumab at Low or No Cost ## About XOLAIR (Omalizumab) XOLAIR is a prescription medication manufactured by Genentech that helps treat several conditions driven by allergies and immune responses. It is FDA-approved for allergic asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria (chronic hives), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and IgE-mediated food allergies. The medication works by targeting and reducing IgE antibodies in the body, helping to control allergic reactions and reduce symptoms.[1][7] XOLAIR is administered as an injection, typically given at a healthcare provider's office. Because this is a specialty medication, it can be expensive, which is why Genentech offers financial assistance programs to help eligible patients afford their treatment. ## Who Qualifies for the XOLAIR Co-pay Program The XOLAIR Co-pay Program is designed to help patients manage the cost of their medication and injections. **Eligibility depends primarily on your insurance type and other specific criteria.**[1][7] ### Insurance Requirements You are eligible for the XOLAIR Co-pay Program if you have: - **Commercial (private) health insurance** — This includes plans you get through your employer or purchased through a Health Insurance Marketplace[7] - A **valid prescription** for XOLAIR for an FDA-approved indication[1] - **U.S. residency**[8] **You are NOT eligible for the Co-pay Program if you have:** - Medicare[1] - Medicaid[1] - Any other federal or state government-funded healthcare program[1] If you have government insurance or no insurance, you may still qualify for other Genentech assistance programs.
