Chronic Hives Treatment
Step-therapy program for hives lasting 6+ weeks — starting with second-generation antihistamines and escalating to biologics like Xolair when needed. Most patients reach full control.
Overview
Chronic urticaria (hives lasting 6+ weeks) is managed with a stepwise approach. We evaluate for triggers when relevant and tailor medication to achieve control.
steps
- History and limited testing to rule out triggers (e.g., medications, infection)
- High-dose non-sedating antihistamines as first line
- Step up with H2 blockers, leukotriene modifiers, or other add-ons
- Biologic (omalizumab) for refractory cases
