What is SCIT?

Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) involves giving gradually increasing amounts of allergens through injections. Over time, your immune system becomes less reactive, which can reduce symptoms and the need for medications.

Who may benefit?

  • Persistent nasal/eye allergy symptoms despite avoidance and medications
  • Allergic asthma where triggers contribute to symptoms
  • Patients seeking a long-term option to reduce sensitivity

What to expect

2
Build-up phase
Gradually increasing doses with more frequent visits.
3
Maintenance phase
Once a target dose is reached, visits become less frequent.

Safety and observation

Because allergy shots can cause reactions, injections are administered in a clinical setting with a post-injection observation period. Our team monitors symptoms and adjusts dosing when needed.

FAQs

Many patients remain on maintenance therapy for several years, depending on symptoms and response.

Some patients reduce medications over time. Others still use them as needed—your plan is individualized.

For allergic asthma, immunotherapy may reduce sensitivity to triggers and support better control for selected patients.
