Common Questions About SLIT
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT), also known as allergy drops, offers a needle-free, convenient way to treat allergies from home. It’s especially ideal for children or adults who prefer a simpler routine.
Does insurance pay for allergy drops?
No. Despite several published studies demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of SLIT, it does not have FDA approval and is therefore considered “experimental.”
How long will I be on sublingual drops?
It depends on how severe your symptoms are. Some patients require only a few months, while others may need several years of drops.
Can my child be put on allergy drops?
Absolutely. SLIT is popular for children because there are no needles or injections. Dr. Pasha limits SLIT to ages over 5 years old.
