A member asked:
What is an immunotherapy that is used to treat allergic rhinitis, and please advice me what it entails/involves, ie; any medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy shots: Allergy shots help patients have fewer allergic symptoms and use less medications. Relevant allergens are diluted and then given weekly in increasing doses until maintenance level is reached- usually within 3-6 months, but maybe longer. Then the interval between shots is increased to every 2-4 weeks. Pt remains on this dose for usually 3-5 years, but this too is variable. Go see an allergist.
