A member asked:
What are the risks of slit therapy for allergies? i'm allergic to pretty much everything and have hyper reactive airway disease. should i take slit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SLIT: Sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) is new compared to subcutaneous immunotherapy (allergy shots). Only a few grass pollens have been studied in the slit group. Both have been shown to be effective in treating hay fever symptoms. However, not much is known about the effectiveness of other allergens in the slit group. A much higher dose of allergens are required in slit to induce tolerance.
