Allergy Drops Treatment in Palm Springs, CA

Allergy drops, also known as sublingual immunotherapy or SLIT, use small amounts of the patient’s allergen extract placed under the tongue every day. Allergy drops are used off-label in some cases to expose the immune system to small amounts of allergens over time. While some patients report symptom improvement, these uses are not FDA-approved, and effectiveness has not been established.

⚠️Important notes on allergy drops and FDA-approval

• SLIT tablets are FDA-approved for certain allergens such as grass, ragweed, and dust mites.
• Custom-compound allergy drops (SLIT solutions) are not FDA-approved in the United States, and their use is considered off-label. Off-label use has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy. Your provider must thoroughly discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives before initiating treatment.
• Not all allergy patients are appropriate candidates for SLIT. A consultation with your healthcare provider can help determine your eligibility for the treatment based on your clinical findings, symptoms, medical history, and personal health goals.

While allergy drops offer many patients convenience, allergy shots use FDA-regulated allergen extracts and remain a commonly used form of immunotherapy for many environmental allergens.
