Allergy Desensitization Program

Allergy desensitization program
  • Some patients may need to be treated with an allergy desensitization program (other names are hyposensitization,  immunotherapy, and allergy injections). 
  • Allergy extract for a given individual is specially prepared in our office for that individual.  Bottles of extract can last from 6-12 months depending on the frequency of injections.
  • The patient may receive allergy injections in our office or the extracts and instructions may be sent to another physician who agrees to administer the injections under his/her supervision.
  • Allergy injections should always be administered in a physician's office so that treatment is available for any adverse reaction.
  • For your safety, it is necessary for you to remain in the office for 30 minutes after each injection. 
  • A specific appointment is not necessary for an allergy injection.  Injection room hours can be seen on our contact us page.
