Allergy Shots Build Tolerance Through Immunotherapy
What are allergy shots?
Allergy shots, scientifically known as allergen immunotherapy, are a specialized treatment aimed at alleviating or eradicating the symptoms of allergies. These shots contain minute amounts of allergens — substances responsible for triggering allergic reactions — such as pollen, mold, dust mites, animal dander, or insect venom. The primary objective is to systematically expose the immune system to these allergens, facilitating the development of tolerance and diminishing the body’s exaggerated response over time.
Who can benefit from allergy shots?
Allergy shots offer a tailored solution for both adults and children aged five and above, providing targeted relief from seasonal and environmental allergies. If you seek lasting immunity and notable relief, explore how allergy shots can cater to your unique needs. Schedule a consultation with our experts to determine if allergy shots are the right fit for you.
How do allergy shots work?
Allergy shots gradually introduce small amounts of allergens into your system, building tolerance over time and providing sustained relief. The treatment involves an initial escalating dose phase, followed by weekly maintenance injections for the first year. Post the initial phase, injections can be spaced to every three or six weeks based on individual needs.
What to Know Before Starting Allergy Shots
While our allergists guide you through the suitability of allergy shots, here are some essential considerations:
Side Effects:
Local Reactions
Common redness, swelling and itching at the injection site. Ice and antihistamines effectively address these reactions.
Anaphylaxisy
A rare occurrence, primarily within half an hour of injection. Trust our safety protocol; we require patients to stay in the office for 30 minutes post-injection, ensuring their well-being.
