Overview

Sublingual immunotherapy, also known as allergy drops, has been used in the U.S. for many years but at very low concentrations often called a "neutralizing" dose. Thanks to an increase in European research over the past decade using high doses of antigens and tremendous growth in the use of allergy drops worldwide, we now have valid scientific evidence that corroborates that allergy drops are both safe and effective. Sublingual immunotherapy will likely prove to be one of the most important innovations in allergy treatment in the past century.

Until allergy drops are more widely available in the U.S. and more resources are dedicated to educating providers and patients about allergy drops, it’s important to understand the facts about this treatment to help you determine whether it’s the right course of treatment for you.
