ALLERGY DROP TREATMENT IN ST. LOUIS, MO

Allergy drops, also known as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)—involve placing small amounts of allergen extract under the tongue each day. This treatment can be administered at home and, in some patients, may help the immune system build tolerance over time.

Important Notes on Allergy Drops and FDA Approval

• Not all patients are appropriate candidates for SLIT. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, health history, and goals before recommending this treatment.
• SLIT tablets are FDA-approved for certain allergens such as grass, ragweed, and dust mites.
• Custom-compounded allergy drops (SLIT solutions) are not FDA-approved in the United States and are considered off-label.

⚠️ Off-label use has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy. Your provider will thoroughly review potential risks, benefits, and alternatives before initiating treatment.

While allergy drops offer convenience, allergy shots remain the standard FDA-approved immunotherapy for most environmental allergens.
