Immunotherapy is not recommended for people with food allergies.  If you have allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, or stinging insect allergies it may be a good treatment for you.  You and your physician will make that decision based on several factors.  Some of these factors are:

 

• Severity of symptoms

• How well medications control your symptoms

• Your desire to avoid long-term medication use

• Time.  Immunotherapy will require a significant time commitment

• Cost.  This may vary depending on your insurance coverage
