Allergy Shots: Long-Term Relief at the Source

Break Free from Allergy Cycles with Clinician-Guided Immunotherapy

When symptom relief isn’t enough, Allergy Shots offer a powerful, long-lasting way to treat the root cause, not just the reaction.

What Are Allergy Shots?

Allergy Shots, also known as Immunotherapy Allergy Shots or subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), are a clinically proven, long-term treatment for moderate to severe environmental allergies.

Unlike over-the-counter remedies that simply suppress symptoms, this doctor-prescribed allergy immunotherapy works at the immune level to reduce your sensitivity to allergens over time.

Here’s how Allergy Shots works:

You receive small, controlled doses of allergen extracts through a series of injections. These extracts, customized based on your allergy test results, help retrain your immune system to tolerate common environmental triggers rather than overreact to them.

This process doesn’t just offer relief, it helps prevent future flare-ups.

What Do Allergy Shots Treat?

Allergy Shots are especially effective for environmental allergens like:

If you’ve tried the strongest allergy medicine or relied on daily antihistamines without lasting relief, Allergy Shots may be the long-term solution your immune system needs.

Who Should Consider Allergy Shots?

Allergy Shots are ideal for:

Frequency & Duration of Treatment

Allergy shots follow a two-phase process:

Build-Up Phase (typically 3–6 months):
Weekly injections with gradually increasing doses
Maintenance Phase (3–5 years):
Monthly injections to maintain your immunity and reduce symptoms

Patients often experience noticeable relief within the first 6–12 months. This is a prescription allergy medicine approach designed to provide results that can last years, even after stopping treatment.

How Allergy Shots Compare to Other Treatments

Not all allergy treatments are created equal. While antihistamines and nasal sprays only mask symptoms, Allergy Shots and AllergyDrops treat the root cause through allergy immunotherapy. For those with moderate to severe allergies, Allergy Shots remain one of the strongest, most effective long-term solutions especially when supervised by a clinician.
