Allergy Drops and Shots.
Immunotherapy is a natural way to help your body stop overreacting to allergens.
Allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops) are a treatment that may reduce or eliminate your allergy symptoms.
Allergy shots and drops work like a vaccine. Your body responds to injected amounts of a particular allergen, given in gradually increasing doses, over a period of time, which allows tolerance to that allergen.
Allergy shots and drops have shown to decrease allergy and asthma symptoms. It can prevent the development of new allergies, and in children it may prevent the progression of allergic disease from allergic rhinitis to asthma.
The effectiveness of allergy shots appears to be related to the length of the treatment program, as well as the dose of the allergen. Many people experience lasting relief from allergy symptoms and reduce the need for traditional symptom relieving medications.
Among the wide variety of treatment possibilities available today, allergy immunotherapy, according to world health organization, is the only treatment that targets the cause of allergy, alters the natural course of the disease and has disease modifying impact.
