Immunotherapy works by exposing the body to doses of small, medical-grade allergen extracts that are increased over time. This trains your
to no longer be reactive to those allergens. Sublingual immunotherapy, which is the form that Curex offers, is administered under the tongue once daily and it makes treatment so much more efficient.This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.Allergy shots—aka subcutaneous immunotherapy —have been around for over 100 years. Sublingual drops and tablets were created in the mid-'80s but have recently been increasing in adoption.
Sublingual immunotherapy is a first-line allergy treatment throughout Europe, with nearly 90% of immunotherapy patients in France utilizing the drops over the shots. However, sublingual treatment did not gain traction in the U.S. until recently, with the FDA approval of sublingual tablets and increasing clinical data surrounding efficacy and safety.
Food allergies, on the other hand, must be treated in person because there is a higher chance of serious allergic reaction. For life-threatening food allergies, it's imperative that you be observed by a clinician during treatment, but Curex hopes to branch into the non-life-threatening food allergies at some point. If you have a venom allergy, I also recommend you opt for the shots.
