Allergy Testing
A Proven Process
Allergies are a pain.
Allergy testing isn’t.
What you can expect:
50 million adults have allergic rhinitis1
2 out of 5 children suffer from allergic rhinitis1
Results
Immunotherapy helps reduce hay fever symptoms in about 85% of people with allergic rhinitis.2
Patients that are treated with immunotherapy for at least 3 Years3 experience long-term (12 years or more4) symptom relief.
Patients may notice initial symptom relief in 3-6 months, but may take up to 12 months. Experience varies with each patient.
