There are two options available to help with environmental allergies, both of which are under the immunotherapy umbrella. The first is allergy shots which consist of weekly injections that are administered in an increasing fashion for about 3 to 8 months This method which has been refined over the past century, has proven effective in significantly reducing the discomfort and impaired quality of life associated with allergies.  The second option is referred to as SLIT or Sub-Lingual Immunotherapy. SLIT therapy has been around for many years in Europe and has been available in the US over the past number of years. There are a limited number of FDA approved sub-lingual tablets available in the US; at present only for dust mite, grass and ragweed. At AACR, we have been able to offer SLIT in allergy drop form to an ever increasing population instead of injection therapy. These drops which are made from the same FDA approved extracts used for injection therapy, carry a very low rate of allergic reactions and are safe to be administered in the home setting. Which form of therapy is right for you, can best be determined by your allergy specialist. Contact us today to book an appointment with our specialist.
