ℹ️ 1. What Omlyclo is and what it is used for

Omlyclo contains the active substance omalizumab. Omalizumab is a man -made protein that is similar to natural proteins produced by the body. It belongs to a class of medicines called monoclonal antibodies.

Omlyclo is used for the treatment of:

  • allergic asthma
  • chronic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nose and sinuses) with nasal polyps
  • chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) Allergic asthma This medicine is used to prevent asthma from getting worse by controlling symptoms of severe allergic asthma in adults, adolescents and children (6 years of age and older) who are already receiving asthma medicine, but whose asthma symptoms are not well co ntrolled by medicines such as high -dose steroid inhalers and beta -agonist inhalers.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps This medicine is used to treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in adults (18 years of age and older) who are already receiving intranasal corticosteroids (corticosteroid nasal spray), but whose symptoms are not well controlled by these medicines. Nasal polyps are small growths on the lining of the nose. Omlyclo helps to reduce the size of the polyps and improves symptoms including nasal congestion, loss of sense of smell, mucus in the back of the throat and runny nose.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) This medicine is used to treat chronic spontaneous urticaria in adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older) who are already receiving antihistamines but whose CSU symptoms are not well controlled by these medicines.

138 Omlyclo works by blocking a substance called immunoglobulin E (IgE), which is produced by the body. IgE contributes to a type of inflammation that plays a key role in causing allergic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and CSU.

⚠️ 2. What you need to know before you use Omlyclo

Do not use Omlyclo

  • if you are allergic to omalizumab or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). (See special warnings at the end of this section under subtitle “ Omlyclo contains polysorbate ”) If you think you may be allergic to any of the ingredients, tell your doctor as you should not use Omlyclo .

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before using Omlyclo :

  • if you have kidney or liver problems.
  • if you have a disorder where your own immune system attacks parts of your own body (autoimmune disease).
  • if you are travelling to region where infections caused by parasites are common – Omlyclo may weaken your resistance to such infections.
  • if you have had a previous severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), for example resulting from a medicine, an insect bite or food.

Omlyclo does not treat acute asthma symptoms, such as a sudden asthma attack. Therefore , Omlyclo should not be used to treat such symptoms.

Omlyclo is not meant to prevent or treat other allergy -type conditions, such as sudden allergic reactions, hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (an inherited immune disorder), aspergillosis (a fungus -related lung disease), food allergy, eczema or hay fever because Omlyclo has not been studied in these conditions.

Look out for signs of allergic reactions and other serious side effects Omlyclo can potentially cause serious side effects. You must look out for signs of these conditions while you use Omlyclo . Seek medical help immediately if you notice any signs indicating a severe allergic reaction or other serious side effects. Such signs are listed under “Serious side effects” in section 4.

It is important that you receive training from your doctor in how to recognise early symptoms of severe allergic reactions, and how to manage these reactions if they occur, before you inject Omlyclo yourself or before a non -healthcare professional gives you a Omlyclo injection (see section 3, “How to use Omlyclo ”). The majority of severe allergic reactions occur within the first 3 doses of Omlyclo .

Children and adolescents

Allergic asthma Omlyclo is not recommended for children under 6 years of age. Its use in children under 6 years of age has not been studied.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps Omlyclo is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Its use in patients under 18 years of age has not been studied.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) Omlyclo is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Its use in children under 12 years of age has not been studied.

139 Other medicines and Omlyclo Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

This is especially important if you are taking:

  • medicines to treat an infection caused by a parasite, as Omlyclo may reduce the effect of your medicines,
  • inhaled corticosteroids and other medicines for allergic asthma.

Omlyclo contains polysorbate

Injecting Omlyclo

  • You and your doctor will decide if you should inject Omlyclo yourself. The first 3 doses are always given by or under the supervision of a healthcare professional (see section 2).
  • It is important to be properly trained on how to inject the medicine before injecting yourself.
  • A caregiver (for example a parent) may also give you your Omlyclo injection after he or she has received proper training.

For detailed instructions on how to inject Omlyclo , see “Instructions for use of Omlyclo pre-filled pen” at the end of this leaflet.

Training to recognise serious allergic reactions It is also important that you do not inject Omlyclo yourself until you have been trained by your doctor or nurse on:

  • how to recognise the early signs and symptoms of serious allergic reactions
  • what to do if the symptoms occur.

For more information about the early signs and symptoms of serious allergic reactions, see section 4.

How much to use Allergic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps Your doctor will decide how much Omlyclo you need and how often you will need it. This depends on your body weight and the results of a blood test carried out before the start of the treatment to measure the amount of IgE in your blood.

You will need 1 to 4 injections at a time. You will need the injections either every two weeks, or every four weeks.

Keep taking your current asthma and/or nasal polyps medicine during Omlyclo treatment. Do not stop taking any asthma and/or nasal polyps medicine without talking to your doctor.

You may not see an immediate improvement after beginning Omlyclo treatment. In patients with nasal polyps effects have been seen 4 weeks after the start of the treatment. In asthma patients it usually takes between 12 and 16 weeks to have the full effect.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) You will need two 150 mg injections at a time every four weeks.

Keep taking your current medicine for CSU during Omlyclo treatment. Do not stop taking any medicine without talking to your doctor.

This will depend on your child’s weight and the results of a blood test carried out before the start of the treatment to measure the amount of IgE in his/her blood.

Children (6 to 11 years of age) should not self-administer Omlyclo . However, if considered appropriate by their doctor, a caregiver may give them their Omlyclo injection after proper training.

Omlyclo pre-filled pens are not intended for use in children under 12 years of age. Omlyclo 75 mg pre-filled syringe and Omlyclo 150 mg pre -filled syringe may be used in children 6 -11 years of age with allergic asthma .

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps Omlyclo should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) Omlyclo can be used in adolescents aged 12 years of age and older, who are already receiving antihistamines but whose CSU symptoms are not well controlled by these medicines. The dose for adolescents aged 12 years and above is the same as for adults.

If a dose of Omlyclo is missed If you have missed an appointment, contact your doctor or hospital as soon as possible to re – schedule it.

If you have forgotten to give yourself a dose of Omlyclo , inject the dose as soon as you remember.

Then talk to your doctor to discuss when you should inject the next dose.
