Nearly one-third of American adults live with allergies, leading many to seek solutions like allergy shots, or immunotherapy. These injections, which have been used since the 1910s, work by desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens such as pollen or pet dander. Patients receive a personalized âcocktailâ of allergens through regular injections, gradually increasing in strength. While the treatment can offer lasting relief, considerations like time, discomfort, and financial cost are important when deciding whether itâs the right choice.
Allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, are designed to desensitize your immune system to specific allergens like pollen and cat dander, providing long-term relief.
While effective, allergy shots come with trade-offs such as time commitment, discomfort, and cost that should be weighed against potential benefits.
