What is immunotherapy allergy
Immunotherapy allergy is a treatment designed to reduce sensitivity to allergens by gradually training the immune system to tolerate them.
Types of immunotherapy
There are two main types: allergy shots and sublingual tablets or drops. Both aim to reduce allergic reactions over time.
How it works
Small doses of allergens are introduced into the body, increasing gradually. This helps the immune system stop overreacting.
Conditions treated
It is effective for hay fever, dust mite allergies, mold allergies, and certain cases of asthma triggered by allergens.
Advantages of immunotherapy
It provides long-term relief instead of temporary symptom control. Many patients experience reduced reliance on allergy medications.
Treatment duration
Immunotherapy typically lasts between 3 to 5 years for best results.
Final thoughts
This treatment is ideal for individuals with persistent allergies who want a long-term solution rather than daily medication.
