The only place I have seen distress over anti-IgE is on the SI and Yahoo message boards. Its a nonissue, not much more to say than that.

This is not the first time that the IGE issue has surfaced. I need to be brief because my wife is waiting for me, but I believe that the drug if successful will only address a small market. Basically, the most severe cases of allergy. Even though Claritin is arguably the most effect (could substitute Zyrtec or Allegra) for this point. People still use OTC products that are less effective and mostly drowsy, but still garner over 30% of the market. The factors are cost, convenience, and severity of allergy. IGE won't compete well buy these standards IMO.
