A member asked:
What are allergy drops and what are they used for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not FDA approved: Allergy drops may be the future of treating seasonal, year round allergies and even food allergies. They have been used in europe for many years in place of allergy injections. While they may be safer in some respects to allergy shots, effectiveness of the drops seems to be less. Currently no fda approved allergy drop in U.S., so stay tuned and wait for good data/science to know risks/benefits.
