Immunotherapy is the one treatment that has the potential to cure your allergies, by changing the way your immune system reacts to allergens. At ENT Kelowna we offer two types of immunotherapy, both administered under the tongue. The type of immunotherapy we offer is referred to as sublingual Immunotherapy or SLIT. We offer SLIT in tablet and liquid forms, they can also be administered as a combination.

 

SLIT is similar therapy to allergy “shots”, except SLIT is pain free, has less side effects, you can administer it yourself at home, and you start to feel the results sooner.

 

There is a short escalation period, usually one week, and then the maintenance period can last as long as 3-5 years.
