 Allergy Drops
Treat the root cause. Convenient, proven, and effective allergy drops can help you take control.

Tired of managing allergy symptoms that never seem to go away? Sublingual allergy drops offer a way to treat the cause—not just the symptoms. With daily sublingual immunotherapy, your body learns to tolerate the allergens that trigger your immune system. The result? Long-term relief from seasonal, environmental, or even food allergies.

How do allergy drops work?
Allergy drops, also known as SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy), are a safe, pain-free alternative to allergy shots. They contain small, customized doses of the allergens that cause your symptoms—formulated just for you. You place the drops under your tongue, where specialized immune cells process the allergens and begin building tolerance.

Taken daily, these drops gradually retrain your immune system to respond less—or not at all—to the allergens over time. Most patients begin feeling better within a few months, but long-lasting results typically develop over 3 to 5 years.

Why choose allergy drops?
Allergy drops are a powerful and practical treatment for patients of all ages. Benefits include:

• Treat the source, not just symptoms. By addressing the underlying allergic response, drops help reduce long-term dependence on medications.
   
• Simple and convenient. No shots, no clinic visits. Just drops taken at home, at work, or wherever you are.
   
• Safe for children and adults. Even infants and young children can benefit, especially those with eczema, asthma, or food sensitivities.
   
• Reduce overall allergy costs. Patients often report needing fewer medications and medical visits related to allergies after starting treatment.
   
• Get back to doing what you love. Allergy drops can help you reclaim the moments that allergies once interrupted—whether it’s being outdoors, playing with pets, or sleeping better.
   

Who can benefit from allergy drops?
Sublingual drops are ideal for people who:

• React to multiple allergens (pollens, dust, mold, foods, pet dander, etc.)
   
• Experience chronic allergy symptoms like congestion, sinusitis, or asthma
   
• Don’t respond to or can’t tolerate allergy shots
   
• Prefer a needle-free, at-home option
   
• Want to help their child avoid developing more serious allergic conditions later
