Allergy Drops
Allergy drops offer a needle-free immunotherapy path
Sublingual drops are an option for select patients who want long-term allergy control without injection-based treatment.
What are allergy drops?
Allergy drops, also called sublingual immunotherapy or SLIT, are liquid drops that patients place under the tongue each day. This replaces the need for regular injections.
Allergy drops use a tolerance-building principle, with at-home dosing after a supervised start phase.
Formulations are customized from your testing and clinical history.
This is not a one-size-fits-all product. Dosing and composition are adjusted to match your sensitivity profile.
What kinds of allergies can drops address?
Drops may be used for a range of environmental allergens when supported by testing and clinical relevance.
Your allergy testing results are the foundation of your allergy drop customization.
Allergy drops are used primarily for aeroallergens, allergy-triggering substances such as pollen and pet dander that travel through the air.
We do not offer allergy drop treatment for food or venom allergens.
Who is a good fit for allergy drops?
- Patients who prefer a needle-free, long-term strategy may be strong candidates.
- Patients with persistent allergic rhinitis symptoms despite treatment.
- Patients with trigger patterns confirmed by testing and history.
Who is not a good fit for allergy drops?
Some medical conditions and medications can limit suitability, so candidacy is confirmed before treatment starts.
- Severe uncontrolled asthma may require a different approach.
- Beta-blocker use or significant heart disease can affect candidacy.
- Pregnancy and age under ten can affect treatment timing decisions.
At-home treatment expectations
After supervised initiation, patients continue dosing at home on a structured schedule. Consistency, follow-up, and symptom tracking are key to long-term success.
We monitor progress and adjust protocols as needed to keep treatment safe and effective.
Long-term monitoring
Because effective immunotherapy takes years, long-term compliance and follow-up are critical.
After testing and the initiation of allergy drops, a follow-up visit with the doctor will be scheduled to ensure proper use, effectiveness, and the overall treatment strategy.
After the start-up phase, patients typically need only one or two follow-up visits with the doctor each year.
Our dedicated allergy nurse is also available to offer guidance and answer questions during the immunotherapy process.
