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.

Those who have a health insurance that covers the cost of the injections still are required to pay a co-payment which adds up quickly when you have weekly visits. In addition to the costs, the time spent going to the doctor also adds up for the patient.

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.

No longer does the patient have to make those weekly visits to the doctor. And all the patient is required to do is place the drops under the tongue once a week as directed.

In the number of patients using the drops, there have been rare cases when a patient reacted to the drops as they may have reacted to the injections. But, considering the advantages, they far outweigh the usage of shots. Every child that has ever had to have allergy shots will be so happy to know that there is another option for their allergy needs.
