Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a preventive treatment for reactions to allergens. It involves making the immune system less reactive to the irritant by causing production of blocking antibodies. Immunotherapy involves administering gradually increasing doses of the antigen to the patient who is allergic. This process triggers the production of blocking antibodies which enables the patient to resist the same allergen when is encountered in the future. Immunotherapy also reduces the inflammation that characterizes rhinitis and asthma. Prior to treatment, triggers for allergic symptoms are identified through a series of tests.

Immunotherapeutic Vaccines :

Provides a range of licensed immunotherapeutic vaccines administered by trained allergists. This is one of the most outstanding and cost effective treatment procedures provided at AATC for allergic disorders. Immunotherapy is usually recommended if the person seems to be selectively sensitive to several allergens. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), is the most commonly used and most effective form of allergen immunotherapy. This is the only treatment available that actually changes the immune system, making it possible to prevent the development of new allergies and asthma.
