Allerdrops - Allergy Treatment - Allergy Medication
When it comes to allergies, there are three ways to escape suffering:
- Avoid the allergen
- Medicate daily or every few hours with pills or sprays to reduce symptoms
- Seek immunotherapy to eliminate the body's reaction to allergens over time
Over 50 million people are affected by allergies in the United States alone. For some, allergy symptoms are a minor nuisance, but for others it can be difficult to get through the day without some kind of treatment. Although avoiding allergens is arguably the most effective way to avoid allergy treatments, it is an unrealistic expectation, especially for people who are allergic to such commonalities as dust, pollen, or dander. Medicating symptoms is what the majority of people do to get through their day, but pills and sprays for allergy symptoms can have side effects like dehydration, and taking pills daily or every so many hours for the rest of one's life is a daunting annoyance.
Immunotherapy, when it is possible and successful, is arguably the best of solutions because it severely reduces and even eliminates the body's allergic reaction to allergens through a sequence of shots that work similarly to a vaccine. The difficulty with immunotherapy is that it requires frequent doctors visits, which can be expensive, and it is sometimes a hazard for people with oversensitivity of a fear of shots.
A solution to this conundrum is a new product called Allerdrops.
About Allerdrops
Allerdrops achieves the same results as immunotherapy treatments administered through shots, but manages it without the shot itself. Allerdrops are eye drops administered under the tongue. Like immunotherapy, Allerdrops target the underlying cause of allergies by slowly strengthening the immune system over time. By taking Allerdrops, the body's immune system builds its ability to fight the allergen and realize that the allergen is not actually a threat. With continued therapeutic treatment through Allerdrops, the body becomes immune to the allergen and the patient no longer experiences allergic symptoms.
Treatment with Allerdrops is individualized to treat a specific patient's symptoms and the severity of the allergic reaction. This is achieved by custom-formulating the Allerdrops in accordance with each patient's IgE (immunoglobin E) blood test, which is the most quantitative and accurate allergy test currently available. Patients who are treated for allergies using Allerdrops report significant reductions in allergic reactions within months, sometimes weeks, of beginning treatment. Most patients are allergy free within three years.
Allerdrops are FDA approved. They are safe for children as well as adults, effective, less expensive than many other alternatives, and can administered in the comfort of the patient's own home. Allerdrops are available exclusively through the Washington ENT/Allergy Center. To get Allerdrops, an allergy-suffering patient needs to have the IgE levels tested and call the Allerdrops Office in Washington DC for a doctor consultation. Once approved the patient's custom-designed Allerdrops are mailed monthly to the patient's home or office.
