Family Allergy Clinic makes allergy relief easy and pain-free
November 26th, 2009Allergies are miserable, but the treatment options have their drawbacks too. Medications can have irritating side effects and often only give partial relief. Allergy shots are a more permanent solution, but they also have their problems. Since allergy shots have to be administered in a doctor’s office for patient safety, they eat up a lot of time. What’s more, they hurt!
Oral drops come with big advantages:
- Safer than shots. While shots pose a significant risk of anaphylactic reaction, oral allergy drops carry virtually no such risk.
- Great for kids. The pain and risks of allergy shots are not well-suited for kids allergies. Oral drops work for well for children of all ages—including infants.
- Highly convenient. Because allergy drops are so safe, they don’t have to be administered in a doctor’s office. Patients can take their serum in the comfort of their home.
- Fast-working. The convenience of home-administration allows for frequent dosing. Since patients can take their serum daily, the healing process speeds up. Whereas allergy shots can require up to two years to produce results, oral allergy drops typically start to work in just a couple of months.
Allergy doctor, Dr. Stuart Agren, comments, “Allergy drop therapy has been around since the mid-1980s. It is widely used in Europe and is rapidly gaining traction in America.” It has been endorsed by the World Health Organization and more than 50 scientific studies have confirmed its safety and effectiveness.
These factors have allergy sufferers turning to oral allergy drops. The drop therapy (known by allergists as sublingual immunotherapy) allows the same healing medication delivered through allergy shots to be taken as oral drops that are absorbed under the tongue.
