Allergy immunotherapy is a unique approach to allergy management as it treats the underlying cause of the allergy, provides sustained symptom prevention and has been shown to reduce the risk of developing asthma.
Allergy immunotherapy is a treatment based on controlled doses of purified and standardized allergens (proteins), extracted from natural allergen sources: Pollens (grass, trees etc.), house dust mites, animals, insect stings. During the treatment, the immune system is gradually desensitized, so that the patient gets accustomed to the allergens that normally cause an allergic reaction.
Allergy immunotherapy is a clinically documented efficacious treatment, which considerably reduces or completely removes the patient’s allergic symptoms and the need for traditional, symptom-relieving medication. Furthermore, the treatment has a longstanding effect after it is discontinued. An additional effect is that the natural aggravation of the allergic disease is inhibited and the development of asthma or new allergies may be prevented.
