Sublingual immunotherapy, administered via liquid droplets, presents an alternative method for allergy management. This involves placing a prescribed dosage of allergen extract under the tongue, where it is held for a specific duration before being swallowed. The process is typically repeated daily over an extended period, following a schedule determined by a healthcare professional.
This approach offers the potential to reduce sensitivity to allergens and alleviate allergy symptoms. Its convenience and non-invasive nature contribute to its appeal. Historically, allergy shots were the primary method of immunotherapy; however, sublingual administration has emerged as a more patient-friendly option, particularly for individuals who may be needle-averse or for pediatric patients.
