How Allergy Shots Work & Where to Find Them

Allergy Shots and Long-Term Relief in Casa Grande, AZ

If you suffer from seasonal allergy symptoms every year, you know that temporary medications often fall short. Allergy shots, or immunotherapy, offer a proven path to building lasting immunity against the allergens that disrupt your life. At Enticare in Casa Grande, Arizona, our board-certified ENT specialists provide customized immunotherapy plans to help you overcome allergies once and for all.

How Allergy Shots Work

Allergy shots (Subcutaneous Immunotherapy or SCIT) work by gradually desensitizing your immune system to specific triggers. By introducing small amounts of allergens over time, your body builds a natural tolerance, significantly reducing the severity of your reactions.

  • Proven Efficacy: According to the AAAAI, immunotherapy is highly effective, helping up to 85% of people with hay fever.

  • Targeted Allergens: This treatment is most effective for pollen, dust mites, animal dander, and bee stings.

  • Asthma Prevention: Immunotherapy can also help prevent the development of asthma and new allergies, particularly in children.

Sublingual Therapy: A Needle-Free Alternative

For patients seeking an alternative to traditional injections, sublingual therapy offers a safe and effective solution. This method involves placing drops or tablets of allergen extract under the tongue to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Like allergy shots, sublingual therapy helps your body build immunity to the triggers that cause your symptoms without the need for weekly office visits for injections.
