How Allergy Drops Work
Allergy drops work similar to allergy shots, slowly desensitizing you to the substance that causes your allergic reactions.
 

The Difference
Allergy Drops are placed under the tongue with the use of a meter dosed spray. Research shows that this delivery system is an effective route for long-term desensitization and allergy relief.

Safe and Effective
Sublingual immunotherapy has been used around the world for over 60 years. More than 100 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals prove that sublingual treatment is both safe and effective.

Will my Medical Insurance Cover the Costs ?
Most insurance plans cover the costs of allergy testing which is done with a simple blood test. Although the cost for the Allergy Drops is not covered by insurance, it is not expensive and usually costs about $2-3 a day (less than half a cup of a Starbuck's Latte!). This is a tremendous savings over the costs of over-the-counter (approx. $15-30/month) and prescription antihistamines 

(approx. $70-85/month) and nasal sprays (approx. $90-120/month).  Best of all there is no side effects with Allergy Drops, unlike those you get with antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors and steroids.

If you're not able to tolerate allergy shots, or aren't getting the results from other allergy treatments, there are options for permanent allergy relief. Allergy drops, or Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), can provide safe, effective allergy treatment.

What Can Allergy Drops Be Used For?

Benefits of Allergy Drops
For those people who can’t tolerate or don’t respond to allergy shots - children with asthma or atopic ecezema, adults with asthma, highly sensitive people and those with chronic conditions such as sinusitis, food and mold allergies, and multiple allergies including dust, pollen and animals - Allergy Drops are ideal. Allergy Drops are also a better option for people who are tired of taking antihistamines, nasal sprays and steroids that only mask their symptoms temporarily.

Lower cost, fewer clinic visits.
Compared to shots, Allergy Drops cost less and require fewer clinic visits. Most patients receiving allergy drops need only a few clinic visits a year.
