ALLERGY SHOTS REDUCE HEALTH CARE COSTS IN CHILDREN
Friday, January 15, 2010 at 04:55PM Did you know a treatment for allergic rhinitis that has been around for almost 100 years has recently been shown to decrease overall health costs for children by more than 30% and prescription costs by 16%?
The link below reviews the findings from a research article posted in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
I have witnessed several hundreds of patients, adults and children, enjoy a significant upgrade in the quality of their life, after having a course of immunotherapy (allergy shots). Some adults have to be convinced to go off after they have been on them for a number of years. They are often hesitant to stop something that has reduced their medication needs and made them feel normal.
Allergy shots are not a cure for allergic rhinitis and asthma but currently they are the best means for inducing a remission period. Many people experience several years of improved allergy control after allergy shots have been stopped.
