Allergy Drops Treatment in McAllen, TX

Allergy drops are a form of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) that involves placing small amounts of allergen extracts under the patient’s tongue. This is done daily and, over time, may help the body build a tolerance to certain allergens, reducing allergy symptoms and dependence on medications. Individual results vary.

⚠️ Important notes on allergy drops and FDA approval

• SLIT tablets are FDA-approved for specific allergens only (such as some pollen allergens)
• Custom-compound SLIT drops are not FDA-approved in the US, and their use for such cases is considered off-label. However, they are widely used off-label in clinical practice. Current studies suggest that they may help reduce sensitivity to allergens in some patients, though outcomes may vary.
• Your provider will discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives with you and determine if SLIT is the appropriate treatment for your condition. While allergy drops offer convenience, allergy shots remain the standard FDA-approved immunotherapy for most allergens.

Unlike allergy shots, allergy drops:

• Don’t require needles or in-office visits for administration
• Can be safely administered at home

Are well-suited for children and those who would prefer a non-invasive alternative
