What type of information should be provided to patients receiving SLIT treatment?
One important factor to consider is that SLIT treatment is administered at home with no direct medical supervision. Physicians will need to provide specific instructions to the patients on how to administer the allergy extract, manage adverse reactions, prevent treatment interruptions, recognize situations in which the dose should be withheld, and manage dosing adjustments for any or all of these variables. Other considerations include whether injectable epinephrine should be routinely prescribed, the patient’s ability to comply with the regimen and the patient’s response to a potential adverse reaction.
