| Are allergy drops safe and effective?
|
Allergy drops have been used
around the world for more than 60 years, and many studies show that allergy
drops are safe and effective. Dosing levels and the route of administration are
safe enough to effectively treat infants, children, and people suffering from
chronic conditions that previously made them unable to receive immunotherapy
via shots.
In fact, the World Health Organization has endorsed
sublingual immunotherapy as a viable alternative to injection therapy.
The well-respected Cochrane Collaboration, the world's most-trusted
international organization dedicated to reviewing healthcare treatments,
recently concluded allergy drop immunotherapy significantly reduced allergy
symptoms and use of allergy medications.
The safety profile for
sublingual immunotherapy is superior to injection based on research studies and
patient treatment experience. Systemic reactions occur 3x less with sublingual,
and there has never been and anaphylactic reaction (life threatening) recorded
over the 30+ years of sublingual treatment.
Compliance has not been
studied extensively. However, one large managed-care organization did find 50%
of patients receiving allergy shots dropped out of therapy during the first
year. In looking at sublingual compliance among patients in many of the studies
identified previously, approximately 90% of patients complete their
treatment. |
