Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT or Allergy Drops) can be an effective method to reduce allergic rhinitis symptoms without injections.
Allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, or post nasal drip.
Allergy skin testing must be completed to identify your triggers. Dust mites, molds, dog or cat dander, and various grass, tree and weed pollens are various allergens you might be tested for.
Different forms of SLIT have been available in Europe and the United States for many years. Currently, the FDA has approved 3 different types of SLIT. SLIT for grass or ragweed allergy has been in use for several years and dust mite SLIT should be available soon.
