Allergy Immunization 

Specific treatment of your allergy - Allergy Vaccination / Immunotherapy:

The optimal treatment for allergy reduces or removes the symptoms and also correct the immune system's abnormal reactions. Use of symptomatic drugs such as antihistamines or steroids can reduce symptoms, but they do nothing to deal with the underlying disease.

If you feel that avoidance measures do not help as much as you would like and your need for anti-allergic drugs is significant, you should consult a specialist regarding allergy vaccination treatment in order to alleviate - and possibly even cure - your disease.

Specific allergy vaccination (sometimes mentioned as immunotherapy/hyposensitization):

Allergy vaccination is the only treatment that interferes with the basic mechanisms of the allergic disease. That is to say, the vaccination treats the cause of your allergy instead of just the symptoms.

Since allergy is an immunologic disease, the immune system ability to modify the disease can be exploited. Vaccination is used for respiratory allergies - e.g. tree pollens, grass pollens, animal dander, moulds and house dust mites. It is also very effective as protection against severe allergic reactions to bee and wasp stings.

Regular vaccination with minute quantities of the offending allergen in gradually increasing doses stimulates your immune system to develop an increased tolerance. The allergy vaccination can be given as injections in the upper arm, just under the skin. It is done with the smallest needle available (the size used by diabetics). 

Until your immune system has had time to adjust, you may still need the medication you are already using. After three to six months, your need for drugs will decrease and your symptoms will become less severe. New scientific studies have shown that an effect is maintained for 5-10 years after the course of vaccinations has been completed. Studies are continuing to see if there is an even longer effect. An additional effect of allergy vaccination is that the natural aggravation of the allergic disease is inhibited and the development of asthma and/or new allergies may be prevented.

Among the wide variety of treatment possibilities available today, specific allergy vaccination is still the only treatment that potentially cures your allergy, with all that implies in terms of quality of life e.g.:

bullet an end to discomfort and feeling ill
bullet reduction to the frequent consumption of symptomatic drugs in the case of respiratory allergies
bullet no problems playing soccer, golf or tennis in the season
bullet no problems having pets at home or seeing people with pets
bullet the elimination of the constant fear of being stung in the case of insect allergy
