Sublingual Immunotherapy

Welcome to our Sublingual Immunotherapy service page. Here, we offer shotless allergy therapy using sublingual allergy treatment for environmental and food allergies.

Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a safe and effective alternative to traditional allergy shots. It involves placing drops or tablets containing small amounts of allergens under the tongue, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Over time, SLIT can help desensitize the immune system to specific allergens, reducing allergic reactions and symptoms.
