Building tolerance against allergic reactions

It is primarily used to treat allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic asthma, and insect sting allergies.

Allergens are substances that trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.

Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mould spores, and certain foods.

Allergen immunotherapy works by gradually desensitising the immune system to specific allergens. The treatment involves administering regular injections or sublingual (under-the-tongue) drops of gradually increasing doses of the allergen extract over several months to years.
