Does the program work well for children?
Yes! AllergyEasy's program works especially well for children. Nearly painless testing and shot-free administration of serum drops allow us to safely and successfully treat children as young as infants. That's a big improvement over standard allergy shot programs, most of which require children to wait until age 7 for treatment.
What does the serum taste like?
The liquid has a slight taste, a bit like diluted Chloraseptic but not enough to be bothersome. Most patients, even young children, are unfazed by the taste.
Are there any risks or side-effects?
Oral allergy drops are extremely safe. There has never been a significant, life-threatening reaction as a result of oral allergy drops. In fact, they are safer than allergy shots which carry a risk of life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.
When was sublingual immunotherapy (under-the-tongue serum drops) developed?
Sublingual immunotherapy was developed over 60 years ago. It is widely used throughout the world and is especially popular in Europe where more than 50 percent of patients receiving allergy immunotherapy use drops rather than shots.
How long does it take to see results?
The vast majority of patients experience marked symptom relief within the first few months of starting treatment. Many patients see improvement in as little as a few weeks.
Will insurance cover the cost of the serum?
Most insurance plans do cover the cost of allergy testing and associated physical examinations/office visits. The actual sublingual immunotherapy (allergy drops) is not as widely covered. However, it is likely that it will be in the near future. In the meantime, it is still advantageous for many patients to pay out-of-pocket to avoid the hassle and costs associated with regular trips to the doctor's office for allergy shots (co-pays, etc.) as well as with semi-effective over-the-counter medications.
I’m going on vacation. Can I take the serum with me?
Yes! AllergyEasy's program drops are ideal for frequent travelers. The drops's portability and self-administration allow you to maintain desensitization while on the road. And if you are traveling by air, our maintenance bottle is less than 3 ounces and, therefore, complies with current TSA regulations.
I’m moving. Will the serum still protect me in a new place with different allergy sources?
Yes! Our drops are extremely comprehensive and designed to protect you from the most common allergens from around the world. So whether you are in Arizona or New York, Dublin or Sydney, you can expect full allergy protection.
What are the allergy drops made of?
They are made of the most common antigens found in the environment (the things you breathe in on a daily basis) in a liquid solution.
Will oral serum drops interfere with my other medications?
Not at all. Think of the drops as a liquid form of all the same airborne antigens you breathe in on a daily basis. Because it is an all-natural product, it won’t interfere with any other medications a patient may be taking.
Do the allergy drops work for food allergies?
The AllergyEasy program treats for environmental allergies rather than for food allergies. However, there is often a strong link between the two. For example, the chemicals in grass are very similar to the chemicals in cereal grains. Thus, when a patient becomes desensitized to grass through the AllergyEasy program, they often find that their cereal grain allergies clear up, too.
What if I'm pregnant? Can I still take the allergy drops?
Since the drops are all-natural (made up of the same things you breathe in when you are outside), they pose no risks to pregnant women or their unborn babies. They are also safe for nursing mothers.
I wasn't allergic as a child. Why did I suddenly develop allergies?
Allergies can occur anytime from infancy to old age. Don’t be too surprised if the body suddenly decides to overreact to its environment.
Can the AllergyEasy program cure my allergies for good?
It can commonly take three to five years to "re-train" the immune system. After this point, some patients are able to stop taking the drops for life without relapse. Others stay on a basic maintenance dose to stay allergy-free.
Are there any health conditions that would prohibit me from taking the allergy serum?
No. Because the drops are an all-natural extract of the antigens in the environment that you encounter on a daily basis, there are virtually no risks or contraindications associated with the AllergyEasy program.
