Empower your journey with sublingual immunotherapy

Learn about sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)

Sublingual immunotherapy involves administering allergen extracts through drops or tablets under the tongue. These extracts contain small amounts of allergens that gradually desensitize your immune system. This process aims to reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time.

Advantages of SLIT

Convenience
Unlike allergy shots, SLIT can be self-administered at home after an initial consultation with our specialists. This flexibility makes it an easier option for many patients.

Effectiveness
Studies have demonstrated that SLIT effectively reduces allergy symptoms, decreases the need for allergy medications, and improves overall quality of life.

Safety
Our allergists specialize in SLIT and provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific allergy profile. We monitor your progress closely to ensure safety and effectiveness throughout your treatment.
