What are the advantages of sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops)?

We all know that we live in one of the allergy capitals of the world – beautiful Austin, TX! In my practice, more and more patients are inquiring about sublingual allergy drops and how they work. Many are also switching from allergy shots to the allergy drops and are thrilled with the results. Here are the main benefits of sublingual allergy drop treatment:

  • All-natural and safer than shots (no severe reactions)
  • Administered at home – less office visits!
  • Unlike medications, SLIT treats the source of the problem (not just the symptoms)
  • Great for all ages—infants to seniors
  • Avoids children's fear of shots and needles
  • Less costly/fewer physician visits
  • Great for travelers (“portable serum,” protects against all the world’s major allergens)
  • Simple testing process
  • Sublingual Immunotherapy is endorsed by the World Health Organizaton.
