If you suffer from allergies, it is no pleasure to receive your shots every week; it can be rather painful. Today, there are alternative methods of treatment. One such method is the usage of allergy drops to treat patients who suffer from allergies.
These drops are taken at home by the patient and are showing some of the same benefits that are gained by weekly injections, with a lot less pain!
Allergy shots consist of diluted versions of the allergen which you have a reaction to. Usually, this ration is about 100,000 to one. In some cases, however; ear, nose, and throat doctors have used dilution of a million to one. The allergens are then injected into the patient and they must wait about 30 minutes before they are allowed to leave.
The allergens are injected into patients who then wait about a half-hour to be sure there is no detrimental reaction to the injection. Then, they are allowed to leave the doctor’s office.
Not only does one have to consider the time away from work and school to receive these weekly injections, but getting the shot and then waiting all takes time. Then, you have to allow time to get back to work or school as well.
With the use of the allergy drops, the number of doctor visits decreases immensely. The most a patient would need to go to the doctor is now about 2-3 times a year. Once you have your prescription, you can now treat yourself, by placing the drops under your tongue.
With the usage of the sublingual allergy drops, the patient visits to the doctor are limited to two to three times a year to receive the prescription. The drops are used at home, under the tongue. Less time spent at the doctor, and no pain.
In a number of patients using the drops, there have been rare times when a patient reacts to the drops as they react to the injections. But, compared, the advantages to the drops far outweigh the need to be in a doctor’s office every week receiving an injection.
