Then, a vial containing customized drops is prepared for the patient to take as sublingual drops daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>What are the benefits of using allergy drops?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are several benefits of allergy drops, including the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The majority of patients treated with allergy drops need to visit the clinic only a few times in the first year, and once every 6-12 months thereafter, until there is no longer any need for such visits.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You can take allergy drops at home or anywhere you need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Patients typically report needing fewer clinic or hospital visits and wasting less time from work or school after consistently taking the drops.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>What will happen if I have an allergic reaction?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If at any time you experience swelling, blisters, severe itching, or a rash, please notify your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>How are the drops taken?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After removing the bottle cap, place the dropper under the tongue, behind the lower front teeth, and squeeze the dropper appropriately. The number of drops is 1, 2, or 3 drops (depending on the dose). Hold the drops under the tongue for at least 30 seconds, then swallow the drops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>How long can I expect the effects of allergy drops to last?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The key to ensuring results is consistency, which is an additional benefit of allergy drops. Studies indicate that patients taking allergy drops tend to adhere to treatment 90% of the time, a much higher rate than with other treatment methods. The patient will generally continue treatment for three to five years, depending on the severity of the allergy-related problems.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is allergy immunotherapy?<br \/>\nAllergy immunotherapy works by treating the causes of allergies by administering small doses of the substances to which the affected person is allergic, thereby increasing their immunity or tolerance to the triggers and reducing symptoms.
