Sublingual Immunotherapy Treatment in Varthur Road

The elderly, youngsters and those who are needle-phobic can all benefit from sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), an alternate method of treating allergies without needing injections. To increase tolerance to the allergen and lessen symptoms, an allergist may sublingually provide tiny doses of the allergen to a patient.

A doctor must first employ allergy testing to validate the patient’s sensitivity. Once this has been established, a doctor's prescription is followed to manufacture an allergen extract in tablet or liquid form. The patient is instructed to place the section under their tongue for one to two minutes before swallowing. With recommendations that therapy is sustained for three to five years to develop, the process is performed anywhere from three days a week to as frequently as daily.

For the treatment of rhinitis and asthma brought on by allergies to dust mites, grass, ragweed, cat dander, and tree pollens, most clinical trials and studies published over the past 20 years demonstrate that SLIT is generally safe and effective. There is growing proof that SLIT may successfully treat hay fever season's red, itchy eyes brought on by pollen. 3-7 Additionally, it is being researched for its ability to cure food allergies and maybe a successful therapy for kids with moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema). The best course for those with food allergies is to avoid that food altogether.

Both children and adults may experience side effects, but they usually take a localised, minor form, manifest early during treatment and include stomach issues or mouth itchiness. Usually, dosage modifications can control them. Rarely has SLIT been used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Therefore, a doctor with expertise in allergy should be the one to recommend this treatment. Book an appointment today to get Subcutaneous Immunotherapy Treatment in Varthur Road Bangalore.

Most SLIT dangers are related to the treatment being given at home and without close medical monitoring. Therefore, patients should know when to consult the prescribing doctor and obtain clear instructions from their doctor on how to handle adverse reactions and treatment interruptions.

Both adults and children may receive SLIT. Please consult your allergist or doctor if you are an older adult considering SLIT but have medical concerns like severe asthma, high blood pressure, or other serious disorders.
