Adultos: 2 grageas diarias durante 3 días. Oral. Niños: 1 gragea diaria durante 3 días. Oral.Indications
Profilaxis de la fiebre tifoidea.Child Dosage
La seguridad y eficacia de esta vacuna en niños no han sido completamente determinadas. En recién nacidos, la lactancia materna parece ser de por sí una protección frente a salmonellosis, y en aquellos sin alimentación materna, una alimentación con medidas higiénicas adecuadas. En niños mayores de 5 años la dosis son similares a las de adultos. Entre 2-5 años se debe evaluar la conveniencia de la vacunación según el contexto epidemiológico de la zona. Los niños menores de dos años pueden mostrar una respuesta inmune insuficiente a vacunas polisacarídicas y además, la fiebre tifoidea tiene baja incidencia en estos niños, por lo tanto no se recomienda la vacunación en menores de 2 años.Elderly Dosage
No se prevén problemas específicamente geriátricos en este grupo de edad. Uso aceptado.Interactions
No debe administrarse a pacientes sometidos a un tratamiento con inmunodepresores (corticoides, antimetabolitos, rayos X).Adverse Reactions

Study finds benefits of Xolair for Allergic Asthma treatment Allergy and Clinical Immunology Page
New results from the APEX trial of Xolair (omalizumab), from Novartis, show that the drug considerably reduces patients need for steroid use, while at the same time helping disease control and lowering the amount of Asthma exacerbations. Usual treatment for Allergic Astham is oral steroids, but these are associated with weight gain, hypertension, osteoporosis and depression. The data, presented at the 2011 European Respiratory Society congress, shows that in the 12 months after patients started on Xolair (p<0.001), the mean total dose of oral corticosteroids per individual reduced by 34%, with 49% of individuals stopping the oral steroids altogether and 64% considerably reducing their oral corticosteroid dosage. Compared to the previous year, patients experienced a considerable reduction in the amount of asthma exacerbations after 12 months of treatment (53%, 1.7 versus 3.7, 95% CI, p<0.001). Lung function was also found to improve.
