Allergy & Asthma Medication Management in Texas
The right medications, optimized to your needs and your condition. Medication management gives you short-term symptom relief while immunotherapy works on the underlying cause. At Cure Allergy Clinic, Dr. M. Waseem Imam, D.O., and Dr. Baraa Osman build tailored plans using everything from inhalers, sprays, and creams to advanced biologics for harder-to-treat disease. We care for patients across Arlington, Irving, and Mansfield, TX.
Quick Answer
Medication management is a personalized plan that combines the right allergy, asthma, or skin medications to control your symptoms, often alongside immunotherapy. Plans range from everyday inhalers and sprays to specialist-supervised biologics for advanced disease.
- What it is: A tailored medication plan, optimized and supervised by an allergist
- Best for: Asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis/sinusitis, and chronic hives
- Includes: Inhalers, nasal sprays, creams, and advanced biologics
- Works with: Allergy shots and sublingual drops for comprehensive care

What Is Medication Management?
Medication management is an organized, expert-guided approach to choosing and optimizing the medications that control your allergic and respiratory conditions. At Cure Allergy Clinic, we offer an array of plans to better manage your allergies and control symptoms.
Medications can also be used alongside our immunotherapy process to give short-term relief while we treat the underlying cause. Options range from inhalers, sprays, and creams to advanced biologic treatments for more serious disease.
How Does Medication Management Work?
We match medications to your specific condition and severity, then optimize the regimen over time and pair it with immunotherapy where it helps. Many of these treatments can be given at the same time as allergy shots or allergy drops, forming a comprehensive plan that controls symptoms now while building long-term tolerance.
For advanced disease, biologics are powerful, targeted options. They are usually provided and overseen by a specialist, which is exactly the supervision Cure Allergy Clinic provides.
What We Treat with Medication Management
We build medication plans for the full range of allergic and respiratory conditions, including difficult-to-control cases. Our plans cover:
- Asthma management. Short-acting bronchodilators (albuterol, levalbuterol) and long-acting medications (Symbicort, Breo, Dulera, Advair, Wixela). For harder-to-treat asthma, advanced biologics such as Xolair, Fasenra, Nucala, or Dupixent, which can be combined with allergy shots or drops.
- Eczema. Alongside immunotherapy and trigger removal, we may add steroid creams, anti-inflammatory creams, vitamin regimens, and biologics such as Dupixent.
- Allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. Nasal spray regimens, nasal washes, and biologics such as Xolair or Dupixent.
- Hives (urticaria). When antihistamines alone are not enough, we can add Xolair or other advanced medications.
What to Expect: Building Your Medication Plan
Your plan is built around your diagnosis, then refined as we track how you respond, with the goal of controlling symptoms on the lowest effective regimen. Here is the general path.
- 1 Evaluation. We assess your condition, severity, and history.
- 2 Initial regimen. We start the medications best suited to your condition, from inhalers and sprays to creams.
- 3 Pairing with immunotherapy. Where appropriate, we combine medications with allergy shots or drops to treat the root cause.
- 4 Optimization. We adjust and, for advanced disease, add biologics under specialist supervision until your symptoms are well controlled.
Understanding Advanced Biologics
Biologics are powerful, targeted medications for advanced allergic disease, normally prescribed and overseen by a specialist. We are proud to offer the following options as needed:
| Biologic | How it works | Approved for |
|---|---|---|
| Xolair (omalizumab) | Anti-IgE, targets the antibodies behind many allergy issues. | Severe allergic asthma and chronic hives (urticaria). Likely future approval for nasal polyps and as a food allergy treatment aid. |
| Dupixent (dupilumab) | Targets a signaling pathway that drives allergic inflammation. | Severe asthma, nasal polyps, and moderate to severe eczema. Possible future approval for allergic GI issues like eosinophilic esophagitis. |
| Fasenra (benralizumab) | Anti-IL5, targets a cell that can worsen asthma. | Severe asthma (needing steroid injections or pills more than twice a year, waking you from sleep, or causing daily shortness of breath or wheezing). |
| Nucala (mepolizumab) | Anti-IL5 class therapy. | Severe asthma. |
New allergic biologics are consistently in development, and we aim to stay ahead and offer the most up-to-date treatments as they become available.
