Allergy Shots
Effectively & Safely Treating Allergy Symptoms
Allergy shots (also called subcutaneous immunotherapy, or SCIT) are one of the best treatments available for your allergies and asthma. This is because allergy shots change the way your immune system reacts to the environment.
In an allergic process, your immune system overreacts to otherwise benign triggers in your daily life, such as pollens, pet dander and dust mites. Unlike medications that treat these symptoms, immunotherapy stimulates the immune system to counter this abnormal response. By gradually introducing ever greater quantities of the allergen, allergy shots can dampen the allergic response over time and provide lasting relief.
As the largest allergy practice in the country, Allergy Partners has leveraged the combined expertise of our physicians and our relationships with the leading extract manufacturers to develop the safest and most cost-effective immunotherapy program possible.
