Allergy Desensitization ProgramAllergy 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.
