Sublingual immunotherapy, or allergy drops, offer safe long-term protection for allergies with the same effectiveness of allergy shots.
How do they work?
Allergy drops are taken each day orally by mouth and applied under the tongue.
Patients will receive their first dose at our clinic, and then can take the remaining supply home.
Patients can receive a 45-day (1 vial) or 90 day (2 vials) supply at a time.
What's the cost?
1-5 antigens: $150/vial
6-10 antigens: $250/vial
Similar to a shot regimen, patients will have one or two follow-up visits with the physician each year. Patients also need an EpiPen for unexpected reaction. Skin testing or RAST is required to prescribe allergy drops. Physicians recommend 3 to 5 years of treatment for lasting immunity.
