DO NOT TAKE ANTIHISTAMINES (claritin, zyrtec, benadryl, singulair, etc.) FOR 1 WEEK PRIOR TO TESTING

Immunotherapy

• Immunotherapy is offered after allergy testing is completed and results are reviewed by the doctor and patient.

• Immunotherapy is used as a long-term treatment for allergies that are not well controlled by medications and avoidance measures. 

• Immunotherapy consists of subcutaneous injections every week to build up the patient’s tolerance to their specific allergens.
