What Are Allergy Drops?

Allergy drops are a form of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) that may help the immune system build tolerance to certain allergens over time. For clinically appropriate patients, this treatment may help reduce allergy sensitivity and improve symptoms.

The drops are placed under the tongue and are typically taken daily according to your physician’s instructions.

Important Information About FDA Approval

Some sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) tablets are FDA-approved for specific allergens, including certain grass pollens, ragweed pollen, and dust mites.

Custom-compounded sublingual allergy drops are not FDA-approved. This means the FDA has not reviewed these compounded formulations for safety, effectiveness, or quality. They may be prescribed when a physician determines that their use is clinically appropriate for an individual patient.

Your provider will discuss available treatment options, including the potential benefits, risks, and whether allergy drops may be appropriate based on your allergy evaluation, symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.

What Conditions Can Allergy Drops Help Treat?

Allergy drops may be recommended for patients with certain environmental allergies, including:

Pollen
Dust mites
Mold spores
Pet dander

Not every patient with allergies is a candidate for allergy drops. Treatment recommendations are based on your allergy evaluation, clinical findings, medical history, symptom severity, and individual treatment goals.

Individual results vary.

Potential side effects may include:

Mild mouth or tongue irritation
Temporary worsening of allergy symptoms during dose adjustments
Rare but serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis

Your provider may:

Review the potential benefits, risks, side effects, and treatment alternatives before starting therapy

Allergy Drops vs. Allergy Shots

Our Approach to Allergy Care

Metro ENT provides comprehensive allergy care focused on identifying allergy triggers and developing treatment plans tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Allergy Testing and Evaluation

Your care begins with a comprehensive allergy evaluation, which may include skin testing or blood testing depending on your symptoms, medical history, and other clinical factors.

Testing helps identify allergens that may be contributing to your symptoms and guides treatment recommendations.

Personalized Treatment Planning

After reviewing your evaluation and test results, your provider will discuss treatment options and develop a plan based on your allergy profile, symptom severity, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Not every patient requires immunotherapy, and allergy drops may not be appropriate for every individual.

Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up

Allergy care does not end after treatment begins. We provide ongoing follow-up appointments to monitor your response to therapy, address questions or concerns, and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Allergy Drops FAQs

How do allergy drops work?

Allergy drops are a form of sublingual immunotherapy that may help the immune system become less sensitive to certain environmental allergens over time when used as prescribed.

Are allergy drops FDA-approved?

Custom-compounded allergy drops are currently not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They may be prescribed for off-label use when your physician determines they are clinically appropriate.

How long does allergy drops treatment take?

Treatment timelines vary depending on your allergy profile, treatment goals, and response to therapy. Your provider will discuss the expected duration of treatment during your consultation.

Are allergy drops as effective as allergy shots?

Both allergy drops and allergy shots are forms of immunotherapy that may be appropriate for certain patients. The most appropriate treatment depends on your allergy evaluation, medical history, and individual treatment goals.

Can children receive allergy drops?

Some children may be candidates for allergy drops. Your provider will determine whether this treatment is appropriate based on the child’s age, symptoms, allergy testing results, and medical history.

Does insurance cover allergy drops?

Insurance coverage varies by provider and individual plan. Because custom-compounded allergy drops are prescribed off-label, coverage may differ from other allergy treatments. Our team can discuss your options during your consultation.
