Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT)

Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT), commonly known as allergy shots, is a treatment that helps reduce allergic reactions. It involves injecting gradually increasing amounts of an allergen under the skin, which helps your immune system become less sensitive over time. Typically administered weekly or biweekly, the goal is to build immunity and lessen symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, or asthma caused by allergies. After reaching a maintenance dose, injections are spaced out monthly. SCIT can provide long-term relief for allergy sufferers and is managed by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
