Allergy Sublingual Immunotherapy

Published by cheapdfwparking, 2015-02-05 05:20:49

Description: Immunotherapy is widely used by allergy specialists because it treats the underlying cause of allergic reactions instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms. Immunotherapy is designed to gradually desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. Patients receive small doses of a specific allergen(s) – not enough to cause a full-blown allergic reaction, but enough to build up a tolerance. Immunotherapy can potentially lead to remission of allergy symptoms, even after discontinuing treatment.

Allergy Sublingual ImmunotherapyseroSLIT is one of the leading sublingual immunotherapy services. With simple, streamlinedservice, seroSLIT enables medical practices to treat a wide range of allergy patients. seroSLIT’sweb platform has built-in tools and an intuitive design to help physicians prescribe safe andeffective doses of SLIT (prescriptions), custom-mixed for (each) patients’ needs.If you are a physician and would like to learn more about setting up an account, please contactseroSLIT today. You will be pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it is to get started.Allergy Treatment with seroSLITThe Turn-Key SLIT Allergy Practice allows physicians to treat mild, moderate, and severe allergypatients with sublingual immunotherapy without having to make the significant investmentsinvolved with purchasing and stocking allergen extracts, training staff, and dedicated officespace.Sublingual Allergy DropsseroSLIT has been favorably received by the many medical practitioners who have integratedthe service into their practice, and have already started treating patients with sublingual allergydrops. Physicians say they are now able to meet the needs of a greater pool of allergy patients,support staff find that the service easily fits into the practice’s existing infrastructure, andpatients enjoy a customized treatment that produces long-lasting results.From a medical perspective, seroSLIT stands out from other sublingual allergy drop services fortwo reasons: 1. seroSLIT allows physicians to fully customize SLIT prescriptions and select the specific allergens to which a patient is allergic. Adding non-relevant allergens to a SLIT prescription can dilute the prescription, decreasing its efficacy. 2. seroSLIT offers high dose SLIT protocols to ensure patients achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Other services simply do not deliver effective dosing.Here are some of the additional benefits of using the seroSLIT sublingual allergy drops service.

Allergen Cross-Reactivity and Biocompatibility Algorithms – seroSLITThe principle of Allergen Cross-Reactivity (X-Reactivity) is one of the cornerstones of prescribingeffective sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and is universally accepted by every major allergyspecialist society. In the development of its web platform, Serologix carefully consideredallergen X-Reactivity and built an algorithm to automate this part of the prescription process.Understanding Allergen X-ReactivityAllergen cross-reactivity occurs when IgE antibodies originally created against a given allergen,respond to a different but structurally or biologically similar allergen. The immune system isable to recognize similarities in different allergens (such as commonly shared proteins) andproduce antibodies that react against both.Allergy Treatment Options: SLIT, Antihistamines, Steroids – seroSLITMany physicians are incorporating sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) into their practice becauseit provides a practical alternative to traditional allergy treatment options like antihistaminesand corticosteroids. SLIT is easy to deliver and yields long-lasting results. It can also reduce theamount of medications the patient must take over time.Immunotherapy vs. Antihistamines & CorticosteroidsAllergy medications such as antihistamines and corticosteroids are designed to temporarilysuppress allergy symptoms. As soon as a patient stops taking the medication, it stops working.Allergy and asthma sufferers will require these medications for the rest of their lives to enjoyrelief from symptoms.In contrast, the process of immunotherapy desensitizes or “re-educates” the body’s immunesystem so that it does not overreact to allergens from natural exposure, therebyreducing/eliminating allergy symptoms and the need for allergy medication. Sublingualimmunotherapy includes an escalation, or build-up, phase in which the allergy drop dosagegradually increases until it reaches an effective therapeutic dose, and a maintenance phase inwhich the effective therapeutic dose is maintained and continued.
