Allergy Drops Treatment in New England

A Needle-Free Allergy Care Option for Select Patients

More than 50 million Americans live with allergies that cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, frequent sneezing, sinus pressure, and itchy or watery eyes. While medications can offer quick relief, they mainly control symptoms rather than changing how the immune system responds.

At New England Breathe Free, we offer allergy drops — also known as sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). This is a needle-free option that may help reduce sensitivity to certain environmental allergens over time, in appropriate candidates.

What Are Allergy Drops?

Allergy drops are a form of sublingual immunotherapy. Treatment involves placing small amounts of allergen extracts under the tongue on a daily basis. Over time, this may help the immune system build tolerance to allergens, leading to reduced sensitivity and symptom improvement in some patients.

Important Note on FDA Approval

Custom-compounded SLIT drops are not FDA-approved in the U.S. Their use is considered off-label.
SLIT tablets are FDA-approved for certain specific allergens (such as some pollens).
Your provider will discuss available options, obtain informed consent, and determine if SLIT is appropriate for you.
