Disease-modification of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis by sublingual grass immunotherapy

Specific immunotherapy is highly effective for treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, particularly where symptomatic medications have proved ineffective or their use is limited by side effects. A major advantage of subcutaneous immunotherapy is the induction of long-term clinical and immunologic tolerance for years after discontinuation. Now it has been demonstrated, using the sublingual route that long-term tolerance similarly can be achieved.
