Allergen Immunotherapy

Allergen immunotherapy is a medical treatment designed to reduce sensitivity to specific allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. It involves gradually exposing patients to these allergens in controlled doses, either through injections or sublingual tablets. Over time, this exposure helps the immune system build tolerance, reducing allergy symptoms and improving quality of life. This therapy is often recommended for individuals with persistent allergic reactions that don't improve with typical medications. The treatment can take several months to years but can lead to long-lasting relief from allergies even after the therapy has ended.
