Using Allergy Drops to Prevent and Manage Allergy Symptoms

For those who suffer from allergies, finding the right treatment plan to manage and prevent their symptoms can be difficult. While many patients of our patients at Center for Allergy and Asthma of Georgia are prescribed allergy shots, others prefer to use allergy drops, which are a safe and reliable long-term alternative.

How Allergy Drops Work

Also known as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), allergy drops come in either a tablet or liquid form taken orally. Immunotherapy exposes the patient to small doses of an allergen, in turn building up your immune response and making you less sensitive to it.

Allergy drops differ from antihistamines and other medications often prescribed to treat allergies, because they treat the condition itself, while antihistamines only mitigate symptoms. When your immune system works to reduce its reaction to something it’s allergic to, common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, and itchy throat also subside.

Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Allergy Drops?

Allergy drops serve as a way for our patients at Center for Allergy and Asthma of Georgia to continuously combat several types of allergies. Those who may benefit most from this treatment are:

• Patients who desire long-term allergy control.
• Patients that prefer taking medication orally rather than injections.
• Patients who suffer from chronic conditions.
• Patients who desire a new treatment for hay fever.
• Patients who suffer from indoor allergens such as dust, mold and pet dander.
• Patients who suffer from eczema.
